The Youtube video tutorials popping up when searching for specific documentation or programming language features is especially disheartening.
I've also noted that COVID, vaccine related or climate fact checks are pushed to the top when I search for specific topics which are only tangentially related at best.
The outcome is similar for me. I find myself using domain specific searches more and more. This is unfortunate, because it creates a monoculture of information.
- grumpymouse 4y agoI searched for a product on Youtube recently, and the main result was a computer-generated voice narrating words that felt like they had been generated from the product spec (rather than written by somebody with experience with the product)! It will be interesting to see where we are in a few years time.
- worldofmatthew 4y agoYouTube search is even worse than Google. Takes 5 to 10 searches to find what you are looking for.
- aww_dang 4y agoYouTube search is almost unusable for me. The geotargetting stuff gives me totally unrelated content in a language I have no love for or related languages I cannot understand at all.
