Within 5 years I no longer want to be part of the internet

If you use any main search engine and search "reddit is a shitty website" all I got were 3 hits that linked to the same imgur link.
Wtf, am I crazy here or is this opinion being hidden on purpose? The internet is turning into a piece of shit and I'm done with this. I want it to no longer be part of my life within 5 years.

Saying reddit sucks is like saying the internet sucks. Its got like 300k subs, everyone has something they will like there. I do think most of the people on reddit are fucking gay though.

Caddilac makes a stunning example as to why the internet should just be shut down entirely.
A lot of people focus on the future in the sense of "Back to the Future" where we have futuristic shit that makes you go WOOOAAAHH! While some of that is going to be true, I do see a regression in technology. I follow the John Titor train of thought, props if you know who that is.
And look, reddit is just a website. Their comment style is lame from an objective point of view, and that shit is so centralized... The internet worked before reddit was around, I'm sure it could survive without it again.

With the quotes? That's just a bad search query, someone would have to use that exact phrase and people don't really use the word "website" all that much of the time when they talk about a specific site. Try "reddit sucks" with no quotes, many relevant results for that.

Shit I just re-read the topic title, I suppose it's a little misleading.
The most useful thing I can think of in the past 5 years on the 'net is pretty much email and the convenience of recipe websites. Youtube is also an amazing learning tool that really competes with the current paradigm of education. But really, some of this shit is just out of hand, not to mention the threat of cyber attacks and cyber warfare is becoming much more closer to reality than previously thought.

"Reddit sucks" could mean "reddit sucks users in" and something along those lines. I thought "reddit is a shitty website" was pretty clear cut and concise. It also does illustrate the fact that search engines have become %500 biased in the past few years.
Double post ftw.

When you use quotes, that exact phrase must occur on a site. Apparently it only occurred on a couple pages. It's not a matter of bias really unless sites exist that do have that exact phrase and aren't showing up.
Even "reddit is shitty" with the quotes finds some semi-relevant results. It's just that a phrase that you might think would be common is not necessarily going to be.

that's exactly the point i'm trying to make. i believe you have to pay google to be listed in their search engine. i really don't know how it works, i don't own a website.

It's mostly just that you need to understand what the search engine does when you feed it a phrase in quotes. There must be a page with that exact phrase, and there may not be many even if you believe it's going to be common.
You definitely do not need to pay Google for a page to come up either, it mostly just needs to be linked to from other pages. There are sometimes paid ads that appear before the results though. This thread is now the top result for "reddit is a shitty website".

You are trying to educate me on the fact of how to use quotes, which is the point I am trying to make. Bing came up with zero, google came up with there. Out of all the population on this planet if I am linked to 1 imgur page that has the phrase, something is wrong.
How about you post a link that is sharing the same sentiment as me.

Now this thread is up there as well. I suppose "what's wrong" is either that more pages with the phrase don't exist, or that they do exist and aren't indexed by Google. If any do exist and don't appear, then we could look at the question of whether Google is intentionally excluding them. I don't know of any though.

Which sentiment, your criticism of Reddit or your criticism of the search results?

psi, you are telling me i am internetting wrong, so I am asking you to post a place where the sentiment is genuinely "WOW, reddit is a shitty website." A lot of the posts in the funnies thread are actually just reposts directly from the front page on reddit. 
Something tells me somethingawful probably feels the same way, I never bought an account there. not even sure I enjoy their content that much.

"Reddit sucks" appears to give lots of results critical of the site.

@Woods: I haven't thought of a better thread title to accurately display what I'm thinking. Until then I'm just going to leave it as a shock sort of thing. I would like the net to be less of a factor within 5 years of my life. The spread of information is amazing and I wouldn't never take that back. This thing is like a k-hole though, lol. Gotta rip yourself away from it.
The internet, that is.

You haven't thought of a coherent way to display what you're thinking, either. Just senseless prattling about some vague and useless bullshit. Maybe you should leave the internet, ideally with utmost haste.

In five years the internet will be a much bigger part of most everyone's lives.
If you don't like a particular site because you feel you're wasting your time or for whatever reason, then just don't use it.
But the convenience of services and utilities for almost anything a person needs, worldwide communication and the wealth of information that is the internet will only become more and more relevant to modern society over time.

I've never really spent any time on reddit. I've come across it from search engine results or whatever but nothing interested me enough to stick around.
