This is about Reddit disallowing other search engines.

Blame Reddit, not Google.

plenty of blame to go around

    You'll have to demonstrate that.

    Is Google's contract with Reddit exclusive, so that other search engines aren't given the opportunity to also pay?

    I highly doubt that, especially since the DOJ would go after that immediately because of antitrust.

    So no, pretty sure the blame here is 100% on Reddit unless you have evidence otherwise.

      I don't think the DOJ acts immediately.

      > so that other search engines aren't given the opportunity to also pay?

      this makes it harder for new engines if google has exclusive deals with some of the most popular sites
