Honestly it's probably the best search dataset in existence right now. You can make Google suck far less by appending "reddit" to most searches because you'll get results from a group consisting of a higher ratio of actual humans instead of bots.

Yeah reddit is shit, but the rest of the internet is 10x worse at this point. Pretty much any writing that isn't a labor of love on someone's personal page or users interacting with each other in a semi organic way is rapidly becoming 100% GPT vomit as every company in existence lays off their writing staff

Whoever bought this got a fucking bargain.
