They've been terrible for years. I yearn for the days when you'd look up "x video game review" and you'd get actual human beings with personal sites showing up, and opinions from random people. Now that SEO has been beaten into a pulp, the first 8,000 pages are either major corporations or spam.
So the modern internet in general, I suppose. Corporations in spam. Never mind, it'd be unreasonable of me to expect anything else.
- black_yarn 7y agoWish I could up this a thousand times. I've had a personal site for some twenty years; nothing fancy, but I put a lot of effort into my content, and I used to get hundreds of unique visitors a day. Over the last ten years, my non-bot traffic has dropped to a tenth of that, and at the same time, my ability to find similar websites has disappeared. Now I see nothing but resume-padding blogs with generic WordPress templates, and pages of empty corporate bullshit.
