We don't know if the task is impossible because Google has no incentive to do it at all, so we can't assume they are really doing their best. They created this situation and they profit from it just the way it is.
- nikanj 4y agoBuild a better mouse trap etc, if the task was possible, DDG / Bing / Whoever could absolutely dominate the search market by providing a ”no crap results” option
- machiaweliczny 4y agoI wonder how hard would it be to create ML algorithms that can classify something as crappy content. I am pretty sure it should be quite doable.
- jeremyjh 4y agoThey would only bother to try if they could monetize it, and the only model for that which won't create the same incentives is paid user subscriptions. The market for that may just be way to small for the big guys to consider.
- metabagel 4y agoKagi is trying to build a better mouse trap. I quite like it. Open beta is coming along with subscription model. I will be a subscriber.
