Who the hell wants whatever the alternative to stack overflow is?? I mean, what would that even be? Misleading Quora questions? Expertsexchange pages that give wrong answers and don't let you view it without an account? Microsoft help forums where nobody even answers the question and the thread is just people complaining about the lack of answers? Old school forums where denver_coder12 just replies to his own question with "I fixed it"?

The pre stack overflow internet sucked ass.

It is still a treasure trove of knowledge, accumulated over the years. I can't see search results from reddit becoming less valuable any time soon.

I'm doing my part by redacting and removing all my reddit comments from the past 12 years. Reddit doesn't deserve the traffic they get from search engines, if they don't respect their users.

Reddit is like 50% of the reason Google is even useful anymore haha. So much useful, niche information.

Reddit threads are literally the only useful results half of the time.

But Reddit and SO are the only two results that give me the answers I need/want

StackOverflow isnt bad to read. Its just horrible to post or comment on.

Reddit threads are what I look for in search results!

Reddit >>> AI generated articles or bias sponsored reviews....
