they purposefully fucked up the search so people would have to click more pages to find their answer, giving google a chance to display more ads.

I have a different theory. Google started scrapping Reddit since its gone public, so I think this is a strategy to get people to use [search query] + reddit in order to find answers, so that Google can scrape that data to train their AI
