Essentially saying that due to seo spam and commercialization, Google is now useless for search and more and more people do site:reddit.com.

I think it's a little extreme but agree generally.

I ususally add "reddit" to my search terms when I'm looking for recommendations. At least I know I'm getting crowd sourced opinions and not a stupid ranked list where every company paid for their product to be on it...

Nah, I was right there with you. It's so much better to get recommendations from a hobby/enthusiast subreddit than click bait articles.
