Google's AI deal with Reddit is having another benefit, giving the dominant search engine a major advantage in surfacing current results from the social media platform.
OH, I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were saying search itself is a duopoly between Google and Brave Search.
You’re saying searching Reddit is a duopoly between Google and Brave Search.
That’s my bad… but yeah, the article is just wrong anyways, Kagi also has access still (presumably through their deal with Google to use Google’s search results as part of their result set). I wonder if Brave has a similar deal … or their crawlers just haven’t been blocked yet … or they paid off Reddit.
EDIT: Also, I will say because Brave search has such a small market share that’s probably not going to help Google’s case much.
Yeah I wasnt trying to make any point, just learn more about brave’s access that given their small scale compared to some other browsers seems out of place next to Google
Why is Brave allowed to index reddit and other engines aren’t? Just switched to them and am not interested in reddit search results.
