I've seen this blog slop on Google for the last month or so, no action taken whatsoever. it's mostly bullshit or regurgitated info from docs.
like Google or their Search team really doesn't seem to care at all. all of a sudden a random blog website just happens to rank first page on every topic
- gibsonsmog 7mo agoLouis Rossman recently posted a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II2QF9JwtLc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II2QF9JwtLc) where he had Gemini replace his 10+ year carefully curated content with AI slop and he instantly shot (back) up to the top of the rankings. They're very clearly favoring their own generated generic content rather than any sort of organic, well written or well informed entries. Shame.
- emsign 7mo agoThere's AI features and tips in Youtube's Creator Studio, they are encouraging creators to use AI tools. Makes sense that they also then reward videos that make use of it. That's how these platforms nudge people into products and behavior that they want to bring to market.
- tempest_ 7mo agoGoogle is not incentivized to show you good results. You don't pay them, advertisers do and that is who they are working for. Their job is provide you just enough "results" that you don't or cant go any where else. No more, no less.
- masfuerte 7mo agoGoogle used to prioritise search quality. About six years ago they decided to enshittify. Slop with more adverts is promoted over quality with fewer adverts. This isn't speculation. It came out in emails released as part of antitrust discovery. To reiterate: Google search is shit now because they want it to be.
