It absolutely breaks any use for information produced in the last month. Here's a few things that come to mind:
While you say "news" really that covers any information about current-ish events. It's not just "what happened today" but background on things like the Muller report right now.
Any technology release, or update.
Reviews of any hardware or software.
Information about security vulnerabilities.
Film reviews.
Game reviews.
Book reviews.
New scientific publications.
- Retric 8y agoBooks, games, hardware etc are all sold for several years. What you’re describing is just news on the latest updates representing a small slice of the market. Making the remander far from useless.
- onion2k 8y agoI don't know this for certain but I strongly suspect news (and reviews/criticism, which is editorialised news) doesn't make up a huge percentage of search traffic. People read news sites that align with their preexisting points of view. They don't often go looking for new perspectives. If someone wants to know what's happening they want the filter of their preferred news outlet, if they want a review they want to read or watch their preferred reviewer. They don't want whatever happens to be the top search result. Although, that said, with Google personalising search results the top result is very likely to be the user's preferred site anyway. We can't have people seeing outside their filter bubble after all.
