It feels like all the mainstream centralized social platforms and search engines (Google) are censoring any updates on reddit's status to maintain a status quo.
Consider taking the tinfoil hat off mate. Try to think about this logically - what seems to be the more likely explanation as to why you haven't seen many articles? That there haven't been any significant developments - which is simply true - and thus there haven't been many news stories about them, or that Google has decided to actively censor stories that do not exist about events which have not happened.
I'd love to understand your reasoning; it seems very interesting.
