Why Reddit is everywhere in your search results

1. Reddit is a very, very useful resource that covers many, many topics

Sometimes people find it useful to “have a forum discussion with people who have experience with different services”. Google uses this information to provide users with a variety of perspectives and accurate results.

2. Relevance and trending topics

Reddit is often at the forefront of trending topics and breaking news. Its integration into search helps Google keep its results relevant and up-to-date.

3. Reddit helps Google and chatbots understand how people talk

A 2023 Google research article (FreshLLMs: Refreshing Large Language Models with Search Engine Augmentation) also confirms that using information from crowdsourcing platforms, including Reddit, can improve the performance of artificial intelligence, for example, to improve chatbot responses. Google can analyze Reddit conversations to improve its understanding of natural language and slang, which helps it better interpret user queries.

To summarize, Reddit not only provides access to a wide range of viewpoints and opinions on various topics, but also helps Google understand the language and needs of users, leading to better search results.
 
I dont know why redditers gives free content to google without links (ex no affiliate links and no cpa links).
It doesn't stop there, linkediners are doing same thing. No links in the articles. I know why they do this on LinkedIn it helps to brand company page or linkediners profile depending on where it's posted on LinkedIn.

But redditers get nothing so why they post free content for google or I am missing something here?
 
I know this what I am asking is redditors those millions of user base, who post on reddit, what do they get back in return.
my bad, I only skimmed through your post :)

I don't know what they get in return, but like most social media users those people have never heard of SEO, nor do they care about it... or even about making money. The beautiful thing about communities is that they're usually built around common interests, of which money is rarely among. They mostly care about socializing with, and helping each other, so they're not desperate about posting links...

Also, karma! Karma is Reddit's currency, but I don't remember what it's used for, all I know is that it's important and it's the limiting factor in many things that redditors can, or can't do.

domain reputation
 
This has been true for a few years, but is far more prevalent now. Also Reddit content indexes and ranks extremely quickly. Even profile posts on fresh accounts get indexed very fast there.
