It's a very bold strategy, Google could easily decide to stop promoting Reddit results so aggressively.
However, I don't see this working against scrapers- it feels like scraping Reddit through unauthorized commercial APIs has only gotten cheaper since they introduced the first restrictions.

Reddit has an agreement with Google, only G is officially allowed to scrape reddit's content.
So atp Discord is opening their public servers, enabling Google to show results from there, and reddit is closing theirs? :D
