Google search was amazing for a while in the mid 2010s but they're losing the SEO arms race now
Aren't all search engines kinda shit compared to 10 years ago?
I think it's because malicious actors have gotten more sophisticated at influencing the search results and also Google stopped giving a shit. If there's something out there that can give me 2010 Google level results, hook me up.
But I have been feeling like search engines are going extinct for a while. When the majority of content on the internet was real, search engines were useful. Now that the majority of content is fake and/or monetized, it becomes increasingly difficult for search engines to return helpful results. No matter how well optimized the algorithm, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.
