The article says Google is paying Reddit to get the data directly from their firehose API, so they wont even bother crawling the public website.

I wonder how much they pay. Reddit profits a lot from showing up on the top for many search queries. I very often do "whatever I'm looking for reddit" (for e.g. product reviews), since the reddit results often provide higher quality information than normal results.
I wonder if these indexing deals will become more antitrust evidence.
