Are you asking whether people want discoverability for their product/companies ?
Or if they're willing to give up agency and leave it to a third party for-profit corporation to dictate what is surfaced in people's generic searches ?
- mdorazio 2y agoI'm asking if optimizing for clicks in search results rather than optimizing for quality of content and letting search engines attempt to determine what's worth surfacing was overall a good thing for users.
- makeitdouble 2y agoThat's a valid question, but there is no answer to what "optimizing for quality of content" means, and every entity involved has a different view of it. We'd have to decide what is quality and what is content first, and I'd expect the heat death of the universe before we ever come to a useful definition that even matches half people's own definitions.
