Honestly? I'd be happy to not see their trash in any search engine I use.

I'm kind of curious to understand how they're blocking other search engines. I was under the impression that search engines just viewed the same pages we do to search through, and the only way to 'hide' things from them was to not have them publicly available. Is this something that other search engines could choose to circumvent if they decided to?

Hot take here.
I do believe in free information.
Instead of investing money in stop crawlers why do not make the data they are trying to crawl available to everyone for free so we can have a better world all together?

It's still possible to search with "site:reddit.com ..."
Has it been implemented yet or are they blocking non-flagged searches? Which seems odd.

They're also blocking posts by users who aren't banned or even got a warning. It appears to the user as though it's been posted, but it hasn't.
