    Half the traffic to reddit is because someone is looking for a recommendation or solution. Reddit’s internal search function is about as useful as it’s video player or it’s app.

      So many times I saw a meme and I wanted to show it to someone else only to be sure it was lost forever to that useless excuse for a search.

      Half of the unique visitors maybe, the traffic of the people on Google visit 1 post. The people with an account who browse it at work see 500

        Even when I had a reddit account, I would use Google to search, because reddit search feature is crap. The Google search would often result in me exploring and/or subscribing to a new community. So, for me, Google searches increased my reddit interactions.
