I agree with the sentiment that google search results are not what they used to be. And its google's fault. Not as much because of their search algorithms as it is their ad business. Talking pure about tech articles on the internet, Google's ads have corrupted the previously benign and even helpful blogs and other sites and turned them into ad peddlers. I mean who wouldn't want a recurring revenue stream?
That kind of reached its zenith (or nadir) when companies started sucking in articles and employing people to write tutorials just to get ad dollars. Every one of the tech articles. I am sure the other fields are the same way. So unless you know a site you want to search in, the results are all ads not real content.
- bhartzer 6y agoThe problem is ads and ad revenue, but Google is increasingly scraping content from websites in order to put that content on their own site—To keep users on google properties as long as they can.
