Looks like Google is annoyed by Reddit

I think part of the problem is that Google defaults to Reddit and other sites that pay them as those sites are safe and generate revenue for them. Most shit is buried one Google because the sites don't pay for search ranking.
Oh, and because of how Google ranks things, one big factor being back links from news sites and text quantities, it's highly manipulated in that way as well. Almost all SEO is focused on getting backlinks, preferably from journo sources by means of things like HARO and more.
The state of the modern Internet is pretty fucked.
