The top result for me is:
VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open ...
The other results are all either directly or almost directly associated with VLC. I get no scam sites in the top 10 results. Have the search results improved? Is this the effect of search personalization? What gives?
- syntheticnature 11y agoThat was the top result for him, but the problem was it didn't say "VLC" right up front. I believe he grabbed what looks to be the 12th link when I use a private browser, but who knows what search personalization he'd picked up along the way, since he had logged into Google. I know it was at least half-way down.
- marvy 11y ago5th word in the title doesn't count as "right up front"? sigh...
- syntheticnature 11y agoNever underestimate the laziness of the human mind scanning for something. Now, I do think the text back then (1.5 years ago) might have said "VideoLAN - downloads" and that was all -- which is worse -- but I recall seeing "VLC" obviously in the description under the link, and it could have been in the link title.
- marvy 11y agoOh, well, then I understand. I wouldn't expect someone to actually read the description. Even I wouldn't underestimate laziness by that much :) I'm glad the VLC folks learned their lesson.
