It serves multiple stupid purposes. They’re trying to appeal to international users. But also by auto-translating they’ve been increasing reddit’s presence in search engines. That floods search engines with useless duplicate data. Am I the only one whose been seeing this? The same reddit posts in different languages will show up in search engines.
A lot of people don’t seem to have noticed they also have been injecting content from other threads as “related content” or whatever. Site indexers pick up junk data. Irrelevant posts have been getting falsely marked as relevant to a search query.
Reddit is a nuisance. It amazes me how people are so attached to the idea that it’s got content they can’t find anywhere else. Are people using the same internet I am? Reddit is a poisoned well. It’s nearly useless.
That’s an insane way to do something lol
Things always get lost in translation. A reader should at least be able to see the original so they can consult a different translator if necessary
