Thanks to a new AI deal, Google is now the only search engine that can scrape Reddit to show new posts in its search results. If competitors like Bing or DuckDuckGo want their users to see the same, they'll have to pay up.
That's according to a new report from 404 Media, which first spotted that search engines other than Google aren't showing any Reddit results from the last week in their search results. If, like me, you frequently tag on "Reddit" or "site:reddit.com" to your search queries, you'll find the results are rather disappointing on Bing or DuckDuckGo right now. You'll either see outdated Reddit posts or a link that reads “We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us.”
