I've also been getting a strong impression of Google being a yellow pages.

Almost all of the time I Google something, it's because I want the top result. As in, I search [company name] and go to companyname.com.

But otherwise, I find 90% of my searches are [reddit topic] or [wiki topic].

I use [reddit topic] the way I used to use Google itself.... I'm not sure if this is a good thing.

It's where people talk, rather than SEO and try to sell you crap.

That said, there's increasing amounts of ads pretending to not be ads, scams, and shills on reddit.
