"Do you know a Reddit mod?" is the new "Do you know a Wikipedia mod?" Mods are editing high-ranking posts and injecting affiliate site links. They are also susceptible to bribes. Unpaid mods + lucrative results = bad combo. larslofgren.com/reddit-marketi…

Increasingly seeing that SEO performance is tied directly to product-market fit, where previously it had the potential to be decoupled. If you don't see brand search growing significantly relative to the market, search is going to struggle or eventually correct.
