This is just a guess, but I believe that they use machine learning and rank it by the clicks. I took some coursera courses and Andrew Ng sort of suggested that as their strategy.
The problem is that clickbait and low effort articles could be good enough to get the click, but low effort enough to drag society into the gutter. As time passes, the system is gamified more and more where the least effort for the most clicks is optimized.
- HPsquared 5y agoIt sounds like the problem is, the search engine has no way to measure satisfaction after the click.
- sdoering 5y agoBut they have. or could have. At least Google (and to a smaller extend Microsoft), if you are using Chrome/Bing have exactly that signal. If you stay on the site and scroll (taking time, reading, not skimming) all this could be a signal to evaluate if the search result met your needs.
- dtonon 5y agoThey tried to insight this with the "bounce rate"
- digaozao 5y agoI've heard google would guess with bounce rate. Or another way, if the user clicks on LinkedIn website A, after a few moments keeps trying other linksw/related search. It would mean it was not valuable.
