No idea why they are higher ranked than the original GitHub issues.

Not to be too cynical about it, but who serves the ads on those sites?

If it's Google Ads, then I think you have your answer as to why they are higher ranked.

My theory is github is getting down ranked due to performance. When you view an issue on github the page gets built from mysql queries and can be slow for large issues. gitmemory and the others just serve the content they scraped, so they load much faster.
Seems like they would ignore that "performance" parameter for major information sites like github/reddit/stack/etc
Genuinely curious to know now..
Or it could be because Google dislikes MS owning so much developer mindspace.
