Do Google Alerts even work reliably these days? I set up a bunch some years ago, realized they don't seem to be working, and promptly forgot about this feature. Every month or free some alert I set up then triggers and send me an e-mail, but I kind of expected to get such e-mails every day.
They are hit and miss. Nearly 100% of the results are from news sites and it seems to lag. Like, I'll get forwards from associates about Topic on Monday then the Google alert on Wednesday
Google Alerts seems to miss most of Reddit these days. It's really broken.
