The strangest thing is that if you had told me in the year 2000 that search on the internet would be demonstrably poorer in the year 2023 relative to the turn of the century I just wouldn't have believed you. nostr:note1y266uhwmznwgq5r88cyxke0w4c8euf78t986dgazh4n30zm3dz3shj05zf

it turned to shit about 4 years ago by my reckoning and was declining by about 2016

this is the feedback loop of advertiser bias i think, eventually it corrupts their recognisers

Yeah I think that's probably quite accurate. I believe there is probably a nexus to the point at which Govts co-opted big tech and the deterioration of global search. Probably gets much worse from here with ai search before we rebuild search in some meaningful way in the future.
