- kortilla 6y agoYou don’t see an issue with google scraping news contents out of the news articles and displaying a large snippet in the search results that eliminates 90% of the potential visitors?
- mrep 6y agoIf they don't want google to display a snippet, then they can "Use the nosnippet meta tag to prevent Google from displaying a snippet for your page in Search results, or use the max-snippet:[number] meta tag to specify the maximum length for your result snippets. You can also prevent certain parts of the page text content from being shown in a snippet by using data-nosnippet".

- sildur 6y agoThat’s playing Google’s game. Where today you “simply” have to do X, which tomorrow will be X plus Y but not Z, and so on. What about Google don’t stealing content by default unless I add a meta tag named yes-google-steal-my-content?
- theamk 6y agoI saw the earliest reference to "nosnippet" in 2007, 13 years ago. Those things are not changing that fast at all.
- elpool2 6y agoDid Google change how they do this recently? Because I'm not seeing what you describe. All I see is a headline and an image without any snippet at all.
