My thought is that the Web has adapted to Search.
When Google started, the web was honest and innocent. People linked to the pages they liked, and Google could crowd source those links and raise up the most popular pages.
Now most of the web is lies meant to confuse search engines. Figuring out what pages are good is no longer a feasible task for software.
- dreamcompiler 4y ago> Figuring out what pages are good is no longer a feasible task for software. Of course it is. It shouldn't be at all difficult to train a large natural language AI model on SEO spam pages. But nobody will do it unless they can figure out a business model that makes it pay. Or a non-profit organization is formed to do search spidering for the benefit of the whole world, much like Wikipedia or PBS.
