What did they do?

I live where the laws are less helpful. EU and California have the helpful ones. But as a non-resident, my understanding is that the law allows full removal of personal info. Deleting posts would be selective removal and doesn't have the "and I live in the right place" question.

That sounds like a server error.

Don't get me wrong. I have no doubt that Reddit has decided to go to war with any unhappy users. I have zero respect left.

Out of self-respect, I will still try to understand whether something is a bug or deliberate.

It seems to depend on the type of search. For ordinary information, I'm using DuckDuckGo. For shopping, I go to Google, but the results aren't great. I'm undecided for serious research.

A lot of the cost is data storage. Unfortunately, I doubt any party will replace old Google.

This made me curious. A while back, I decided that I'd had enough with lousy results. I started trying different search engines, and I landed on DuckDuckGo.

After reading your comment, I went and searched the same term, grass. At the top, it showed a short section of 'products' and one ad. The next result was a store, then Britannica's article on grass. Fourth result was Wikipedia.

I figure that a 'products' link and one ad, clearly labeled, is reasonable. After all, the search engine is free.
