    It does however screw ppl over when googling questions

    isn’t that the point? your content drives traffic to the website. Removing said content takes traffic away from reddit.

      Yeah, perhaps i should’ve been clearer in my og comment. What im referring to as content that matters is stuff like snippets of code, solutions software/hardware problems, useful life advice. Obscure content that isn’t found anywhere else on the web.

      If you look at what drives the largest amount of traffic on Reddit, its all reposted content from various other sites, nothing we can’t find elsewere. I wouldn’t mind that type of content being removed as it can be found elsewhere. I just care about niche stuff.
