I just searched (1) "SEO ruined content" in duck duck go and this Hacker news page is the first entry. We are very lucky that, as far as we know, an accumulation of irony doesn't create black holes. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=SEO+ruined+content&t=canonical&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=SEO+ruined+content&t=canonical&ia=...

Currently page 2 on Google. To be fair, "SEO ruined content" is a pretty specific search string and doesn't even show up in the results that out-rank this submission. This comment specifically talks about "SEO ruined content" and is, correctly, a good results candidate.

  Very specific indeed, no data on Ahrefs for this keyword. Keyword Difficulty < 15 Ahrefs estimate that you’ll need backlinks from ~17 websites to rank in top 10 for this keyword

HA! People collect significant paychecks for what you just did. I love this so much.

Even above the article that we're discussing. Hilarious. And a very good demonstration of the problem.

  Ok, now that we agree this is neat (I am impressed!), what’s the solution? Google or not, what can help me discover the right recipe, the right content, the right answer to my coding error? Search algorithms that keep “mutating” even randomly? Ranking system? What?

    I fear it's incredibly hard to fight fake content with automated systems. You need the ability to understand the content to determine whether the content is actually meaningful. For that, you need far better intelligence than just some fancy text processing. You need people, basically. If you want to automate it, you need some way to figure out what people think about that content. This has been tried by counting how many people link to it, or rate it highly, but those methods have also been gamed to death.
