I don't think so. I think it's the inevitable outcome of giving all of humanity the ability to broadcast without curation.
Or maybe we're saying essentially the same thing, but you think search engines should be doing that curation. But that was never my conception of what search engines are for.
- dpkirchner 3y agoI think we are indeed saying the same thing. However, I would like search engines to do some curation -- specifically, to remove results that deliver malware, are clones of other sites, and are just entirely content free (eg Microsoft's forums). I'll give Google credit: I haven't seen gitmemory or SO clones in a while. It took a few years but they seem to have dealt with them.
- thejohnconway 3y agoI disagree, the bad sites people are talking about are spam, not bad personal takes. They are written by people being paid to churn out content. This is now being done with AI. This is a result of search engines listing them.
- sanderjd 3y agoI don't think the definition of "spam" is nearly as objective as this suggests it is.
