I append the word "reddit" to most non-technical google searches. Platform has been around long enough that _someone_ on it has discussed the issue I'm looking for

I've been selfhosting SearXNG [0] for a few months and cannot complain. It's a meta search engine, i.e. collects results from a variety of underlying search engines including Google (if enabled).

Not sure why reddit has been able to resist the ever present corruption of money, but I think that's also why reddit is one of the few remaining politically progressive strongholds.
And is that the only possible explanation we can think of?
