I'm kind of curious to understand how they're blocking other search engines. I was under the impression that search engines just viewed the same pages we do to search through, and the only way to 'hide' things from them was to not have them publicly available. Is this something that other search engines could choose to circumvent if they decided to?

I'm seldom on reddit after the exodus, but when I am, I noscript the duck out of it.
You quack.
Actually, he doesn't, since he's removing the duck (and shipping it off to DuckDuckGo for reuse, no doubt).
Couldn't a search engine just aggregate the result from Google, filter the Reddit responses, and then add those results to their own organic results?
Honestly? I'd be happy to not see their trash in any search engine I use.
