It's not even big shiny corporate stuff: in many cases it's being replaced by junk spun content.
E.g., just this morning I was looking for advice on how to attach kitchen cabinets to drywall (not that I actually have drywall in my kitchen; I was simply curious). The experience, in common with a lot of other DIY related searches I've done recently as I work on the house, was deeply frustrating. The top result was spun to within an inch of its life, and incredibly repetitive and frustrating to read. Worse, the information was misleading to the point of being potentially hazardous if followed.
As GP has observed, the word "ruining" might be better used in place of the word "gentrifying" in this piece.

- Sander_Marechal 6y agoI know the feeling exactly. I'm trying to find out how many Hue spots to place in my new kitchen's ceiling, and how close together they should be. It's been a SEO nightmare and I still don't have an answer :-(
