      Very much doubt it but they will lose a lot of causal trade page hits. A lot of finding solutions to things is why I end up.on Reddit now as it only useful result in Google.

      But the vast amount of people using it as social.media will stay

        I’m sure they are already getting less and less hits as people wipe or obfuscate their histories, and as their users migrate to cough other platforms and post OC there.
