Literally the only reason why I still bump into Reddit even when I’m not trying to.
Here’s an example from real life. When I searched for “ipados brave yutube ads adblock”, I found some Reddit posts discussing the issue.
Spoiler: Ditch brave and switch to something else.
BTW, Reddit is currently in the “hold my beer” sort of state when it comes to shooting itself in the foot.
...was the search actually misspelled that badly?
Missing one letter is a severe misspelling?
Oh wow ... You think one letter is the only problem with that?
Let's run this through one word at a time
ipados - name of a product, trademarked, spelled correctly
brave - normal English word, spelled correctly
yutube - missing the letter "o"
ads - normal English word, spelled correctly
adblock - name of a product, spelled correctly. Not an extension available for the browser in question as far as I can tell, but that's the kind of thing you find out when you google it
