Reddit, Quora, and other internet forums that have climbed up through the traditional set of Google links. Data analysis from Semrush, which predicts traffic based on search ranking, shows that traffic to Reddit has climbed at an impressive clip since August 2023.

    Just in time to not be able to see anything on Reddit without signing in. And I’m sure companies won’t figure out how to astroturf even more.

          I’m suggesting Reddit could implement a Quora style ?share=1 at the end of the URL as what comes up in Google results. This is why you can click a Quora google result and get an answer, but then clicking any other question/thread brings up an undismissable prompt for you to sign up for an account.

            Could you then bypass the quora login prompt with a user script that appends ?share=1 to every page?

              I haven’t used it in a while but in the past you could.
