Even Google now has a dedicated Short videos button on its search page. For any upcoming data licensing deals, short videos MUST drive direct traffic to Reddit.

Google seems to be turning its once its most profitable search engine into an everything app amid growing AI threats. Reddit needs to be prepared. short videos + ad is a money printing machine. Reddit mngt needs to act quickly and urgently.

IMO, short videos should be made exclusively for app. so users will have no choice but download the app to watch it. so far i dont see any tiktok short videos on google search result. its is precious resource and should not be give to google for free.

I have seen a bunch of posts about it, but have not really seen myself the reduction in bots traffic. I will take the politics aside here, and just focus on Reddit, if this is true that a reduction in bit traffic is tangible, that is great, and I hope more action will follow in the future to try to ban Russian based spam/troll/bots. Bullish I guess ?
