As an example: I was doing a search for the best sesame substitute today. Everything that came up was things like, "11 Best Sesame Substitutes," and I know for a fact that just about everything they suggested tastes nothing like sesame. Just another site trying to get hits. So I added reddit.com into my search parameters and immediately got some decent answers.

I really hate that I have to do that to get anything useful, but there is a ridiculous amount of useful information on Reddit. I hope the fediverse gets to this point as well one day.

Anway, just needed to vent. Lemmy on.

      Bing does extract info from sites, including reddit and compare it to other sources but i doubt they’re creating a database. Imagine all the wisdom, knowledge of hundreds of thousands of people but offline and only without the useless arguing and other bullshit.
