    I hit this today. Was playing God of War and couldn’t find out how to get back to a certain collectible. Couldn’t find any resources that had my problem exceot reddit posts that were now private. I was pulling my hair out in frustration knowing the answer was so close

    Archive.org had the questions archived, but before there were answers

    Ran into this today myself (on DuckDuckGo).

    I wonder if the wayback machine might be useful? Not sure how they index pages or if there would be a cache of any random page from smaller subreddits.

      I ran into the same problem with DuckDuckGo today while troubleshooting an issue and found out that DDG doesn’t cache pages themselves due to cost however they have a command that redirect you to the Google cached page: !cache

      eg. reddit.com/r/subreddit !cache

    Yeah it’s good and bad, Reddit gets a lot of traffic through Google. Google gets a lot of results through Reddit that arnt always right though
