If you think something being upvoted on reddit or liked on twitter is any indication of quality, value or indeed reality you don't have the same internet as me.
I even checked some examples. Yup. Echo echo echo echo echo

Yeah, agreed. I wouldn't say the most upvoted posts are always the highest quality posts.
Lately, I’ve noticed myself searching for things in Google and then typing Reddit (e.g. “opinion on Liz Truss reddit.”)
I tried to work out why I was doing this, initially thinking that I just wanted to enjoy the social aspect of the internet, but now I think I do it because, sometimes, I want to see results which have been filtered down by people, not by the Google search algorithm.
One of the many examples of where I think this can be useful is when searching for products or services. I know that if I Google “best laptop for gaming,” the results will be the products of large companies which have invested a lot of time and money getting onto the first page of Google, and won’t necessarily have the best products.
I built this as a way of searching through upvoted content across the internet (on multiple platforms), for when I want to search for something where a simple Google search won’t do.
It’s free-to-use, so feel free to try it out and I’d appreciate any feedback.
Thanks!
