Reddit is not even safe anymore. I googled some products and tagged Reddit on the end and the first result was someone who had made a bot that just collects referral links into a big list and names it "top ten x of 2023".

Taking a look at the history and it's just thousands of links.

The internet has shit itself to death.

At least that is typically more obvious on first glance than an independent site that tricks you at first

I think it essentially came down to ad revenue and websites tailoring their content to fit Google’s algorithm.

I use to work for a local pest control company who would legit check google reviews, contact their guy at google ad's and then ask to have the bad reviews removed and the company would pay for that.
