The issue is, that a lot of Google searches lead to reddit

It's quite annoying actually. A huge number of the results return pages that are years old and a huge chunk of the comments are just gone.

I know why I know everyone went through all their posts and edited or deleted them or both but it shouldn't be returning in search results now.

I have a bookmark that is a link to Google with a prepopulated search field with stuff like -site:reddit.com after:2019

Edit: corrected -site:

I suggest -site:Reddit.com instead of -Reddit.com
