I heard this, what, 6 months ago, from someone else.
Over half of websites served to you by enshittified search engines are written by machines, to hit results.
They will rephrase the question as many ways as possible to hit the search engine , then explain why someone would want to know that question, then give you a half assed answer to your question.
Previously the answer was on the search page. Now, only the AI one is, the results make you all click and search now as not before.
That’s not by accident. They are forcing us to use AI. So called ai, llm bullshit.
We need our own Open Source Search Engines. We could do that, I could even help on that one.
We also cannot just block these websites, there are just too many of them, i hope some effective alternatives to search engine (or perhaps a modern community made index) will be developed soon
The problem isnt the search engine, tge problem is the search index. The index gets big and expensive to maintain quickly. Ive mostly switched to Kagi at this point.

Start a repo then.

And it has to be fast. If it takes too long people will leave before it gives results, and thats also expensive.
