Let’s not forget bot/AI generated websites that just copy paste some irrelevant content template but fits your search terms, and then feeds you tons of ads when you thought you found answers to your questions.
google “How to do X?”
AI pages are always like this
- X is very useful
- ads
- X is used for a,b,c application
- ads
- Generic advice about how X can be done which everyone knows
- ads
- One line in the entire page which nudges you towards how to actually do X
- ads
- You should really try X
I don’t understand why Google doesn’t give us a blacklisting feature. There are so many garbage results from always the same domains, just let me block websites from search results.
There are browser extensions to hide results, but a search results page with only 3 non blacklisted results isn’t helpful either
“But muh capitalism breeds innovation”
My standard response is “capitalism breeds escalation, which can sometimes cause innovation, but always breaks down in absurdity.”
