google isn't the cesspool, people who want to appear at the top of a list of search results are doing whatever it takes to create a cesspool, because that's what it takes to earn more money.
being willing to make other things in order to have more money always creates cesspools.
- Retric 5y agoGoogle is a cesspool because it’s their job to fix it and they failed. I stopped using Google search because of how far it’s fallen.

- naikrovek 5y agothere is never only a single way to make money. some ways are easier. some ways let you take advantage of others; these are of the variety that create cesspools.
- prepend 5y agoGoogle’s mission was “organize the world’s information and make it useful” and they are doing a poorer job now than historically. Of course there are scammers, that’s part of what makes organizing so hard. Cynically, I think that Google is worse as filtering scammers is because they care less now. Half the page is ads so they make money either way.
