Google is trying something new on the search feed
Google does not really offer a space where people can come together to create communities or discussion threads. However, with the introduction of Perspectives, it may do so later.
So—despite the dumbass title (article's fault, not OP's)—explicitly not an alternative to Reddit, where literally the whole point is to create communities and discussion threads.
I do love the "it may do so later" part. It reads like the journalist was writing this via speech-to-text from the shower, just rambling off whatever thoughts came to mind.
Google's infamous graveyard makes it seem like they're just a bored university student that can't ever finish its side projects.
Numerous employees and former employees have written extensively on this. The metrics employees are evaluated on for raises and promotions highly encourages people to start new projects and move on from them before they are complete, and significantly disincentivises anyone from doing upkeep or bug fixes.
Basically if you aren't constantly working on making the "next big thing" you are seen as someone who is negative, stuck in the past, inflexible, and not a contributing team player.
It sounds pretty toxic tbh.
