It may be a general rule that any search term that matches a movie, book, or other item for sale on the usual sites will return many unwanted results.
I don't know if profiles help, because I am "never going there."
So I (un)qualify searches with such terms as -movie -movie -movie -book -book and so on.
Popularity contests are't where I'm looking for facts or pithy quotes. Try looking up Wilhoit's Law by using any words in its short text, and not their author.
Even at my age, I can remember Wilhoit faster than scrolling through 20 pages of merch that vaguely matches words.
As a redditor mentioned at the link
> I'll go to reddit when I want subjective opinions about something I can't possibly research on my own.
> "What's the best BBQ in Nashville?" in the Nashville subreddit.
> That's purely opinion and the result will be a popularity contest of upvotes, which is great as a tourist. People that live there are more reliable for that sort of thing that Google reviews.
But never trust reddit for any objective information. If it can be objective, you can get it from the source material. Otherwise it's hot garbage, just like Google AI results.
