I've been saving longreads and news articles to PDF for a couple of years now, for pretty much this exact reason. Google's search results are horrifically bad now. Instead of ranking original articles at the top, they will rank 10 blogspam sites that 'summarize' the article, often without attribution to the original link. With AI, the cost of blogspam becomes so low, and 'hallucinations' driving trust trust even lower, that it makes sense to slowly withdraw from the clearweb entirely and stick to a list of official sources and 5 or so trusted 3d party sources.
