Did we ruin the Internet?

can't disagree with you but not everything is about making money it was for the fun and the thrill of it if I would be able to pull it off it was one of my first project and I wouldn't call it time wasted ever in a million year and sure I was being a pain in someone's ass but so what and I never said I was proud of it nor am I ashamed of it and I never actually thought I was saving the internet I never even came up with that term until I was about to post the above comment and only did because it was matching the post sarcasm as you might say and I still make a shit lot of things that don't make me money because I like doing it and probably can find a lot of people that can relate
yea well its still lame ;)
 
As the public begins to believe Google isn’t as useful anymore, what happens to the cottage industry of search engine optimization experts who struck content oil and smeared it all over the web? Well, they find a new way to get rich and keep the party going.

Thoughts?

Lol, I am thinking of Bing ads lately for promotion, you know, just in case people (prospects) start using Bing more than Google for search.

In my experience (since a few months back), when searching for something, I started getting more and better results on Bing than on Google. Results at Google are mostly Ads nowadays and the others are many times not related or not useful. I think that their algorithm committed suicide some time ago.
 
everything's lame you me arguing like this you replying to my comment when it's not making you money everything is lame forget about it me and you should get some beer maybe we can even become friends and you can teach me a thing or two about making money

I know for sure that some journalists nowadays got plenty of free times to reflect on useless things that don't matters.
 
Yes. SEO is such a crime, we are violating our overlord Google's ToS.
Let's give us seoers some jail time right
While Gen z ducks are out there stealing, robbing, being chaotic, cyber bullying or just being a public nuisance (or worse) is OK

Ha Ha Ha doing the same practice that they condemn filling the internet with 'garbage'. "Its not OK to post garbage on the internet unless its my garbage" :):)
 
My point is, none of this is new and I wouldn't even say it's necessarily gotten worse, just more obvious to the average consumer.

As for the internet in general, it's either going to be controlled by Google for them to display whatever they want, or it's going to be spammed to death by individuals trying to make money. I've always fancied myself a revel who finds loopholes in rules and takes advantage of them for my own gains, so I know what I prefer.
I can agree with almost every word in your comment. However, I would like to add my 5 cents to these sentences I quoted.
1) It has become more obvious definitely because it has just become worse - the % of shiteload on the Net has increased exponentially, and, as any other ecosystem dies when it is overpolluted, so does also Internet.
2) Google MIGHT be tempted "to bring an order in their house". However, if they do, society will probably lose one of its most valuated features - freedom on the Internet. Do I want to meet a massive mechanism of censorship, initiated by the privately owned mega-corporation? I am far from being sure I do.
 
Saying the internet is ruined might be a stretch, but Google search? Most definitely. The search results that pop up in Google nowadays are garbage, 9/10 times it's some affiliate shit written by ChatGPT or someone who has never even seen or touched the product they're writing about. The best way to use Google today is to add "reddit" after any query, that way you'll get mostly real answers, with the occasional noobie trying to promote his links.
 
Websites like the verge ruin the internet. 0 investigation, 0 journalism, click bait title, like 90% of news websites.
