I said this in a similar thread yesterday, but I think this is an unsolvable problem because much of the content either no longer exists in website form or is old.
To put it simply, a new generation of the people who used to make the reliable niche websites that not just answered your questions but also helped you learn a particular topic have moved to youtube instead.
Google search is hollowing out as a result with the meat going and the SEO'd fluff that kinda answers the question but ONLY the direct question being asked with none of the wider expertise that more educated people in what they were searching for.
Of course google owns youtube as well.. so perhaps they just see it as an inevitable transition.
- neom 5y agoJust a note on that, youtube search is finally getting better, yesterday I noticed it was able to find key words in the middle of a lecture that had nothing in the title or comments. I always wonder about their AI transcription service, it's gotten so good, if they're storing all that audio as text, I guess their search is going to get excellent?
