It's great when you want to search for niche information. Especially because google won't do all its censoring and boosting on the contents as much as it would on a typical google search. That's the point. Neither Google nor Reddit are actively censoring certain types of information. E.g. what is your favorite nail polish or best ice cream in NYC.

I think we might agree that if you search for anything politically censored on either, you're going to be led astray.
