Now you’ve outdone Google.

Alright, calm down. If they "outdid" Google, they would have their own SEO dreamland platform. All they did was work within the confines of Google's algorithms, A/B testing until something works. When Google makes changes they repeat. Overall the Internet is in a reeeeally shitty state due to the marketization of search results. There have been some things I have searched for whereby there were pages of what was essentially cloned articles. Many times I'm unable to even find what I'm looking for. Recent example, there was that article posted about that AI service / software that aimed to poison images, I don't remember the name. I tried searching for the actual software / website. I gave up and never found it through the utter bullshit "articles" all spouting the exact same thing and clearly taking advantage of the "freshness" and relevancy of the tool.

There is a recent ArsTechnica article about that

Ja that's right, I knew it was a plant or something. Thanks!
