the technicals of search did not get worse. the economics of the search provider did. If government wasn't stuck in the 50s mindset, search provider would have been nationalized just like a utility.
- kennywinker 2mo agoI think the techinicals of search did get worse - the ai sloppification of the internet made the needle harder to find in the haystack.
- cyanydeez 2mo agothat's not the techicals, thats the content. That could be overcome via robust "Library of Congress" like filtering and evaluating. We don't really have that much more good information now than 30 years ago. We had an explosion of garbage that google saw as an oppotunity to sell us on, rather than filter out. Google saw it as their job to keep us on search longer, so the SEO garbage filling the search feed benefited them.
