How does he know well that this is not the reason? No explanation has been given for Bing's very different treatment of the site than Google's. He says "probably not" because he isn't assuming guilt, but it may well be relevant.
- weakfish 4y agoUsing the razor, the most likely explanation is incompetence. Bing has always sucked in general.
- brookst 4y agoOr, as others have pointed out, the incompetence may not be with Bing. Websites that take a long time to load, download megabytes of data, and cause CPU fans to spin up are often down-ranked by search engines.
- jsnell 4y agoTo put it bluntly, while these guys might think they're competing with Github, the inverse is unlikely to be true. Nobody has heard of them until now. Their search volume on Google Trends doesn't even register compared to Copilot: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=%2Fg%2F11q83qbj3d,codeium https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=... Now, there is no shame in not having the top product in your niche. Everyone needs to start somewhere! But for somebody at Bing to risk going against their stated policies and blocklist a competitor, they at a bare minimum need to be somebody MS would consider a competitor. Clearly not the case here.
