Esp. relevant amidst the reddit blackout, and how it’s affecting Google Search quality as well.
The blackout really affected the quality of Google search results. I used to add “reddit” at the end of my query to make sure I get genuine answer from the community. Now without reddit, I have to dig deeper. The verge has a good article on this
I hope we’re also on the cusp of a new era of search… not sure how that would look like but I envision with SEO-optimized AI-generated articles (esp. all those top 10 articles which is so easy to generate with AI), Google is only going to continue going downhill spammed with fake content.
SEO has been killing Google for years.
you’re right, i was just oblivious to it until the blackout showed me how much i rely on reddit to get any useful search results…
