What do you guys think about this? (Wasn’t sure which community to post this in)
Please post LINKS to Lemmy, not screenshots of headlines. Ffs, even your “source” link goes to an image, not the article
Mods, can we please crack down on this dumb-ification of Lemmy? We’re better than tiktok.
Great, now Google gets fucked as well! Another win.
I don’t think you understand, we are the ones who are getting fucked. Search results are getting worse and harder for you to find what you need with all the ads, fake news, sponsored sites, ai generated articles, etc… Google doesn’t care if you find high quality results, they will still gett traffic and their money because people won’t just stop using it.

Don’t use Google.
-
Learn how to search the internet, its not hard.
-
Adblock is your friend.

People will stop using it only when it becomes unbearable. Their own business tbh.
What search engines you suggest? Duckduckgo is useless for me, but so is google nowadays tbh.
I’ve been trying: https://metager.org/ and https://www.ecosia.org/
I like startpage. It’s not perfect but works. If I still cant find anything I search google. 95% of the time it just works.
@Stijn @krevassi, Startpage is probably one of the best search engines, I used it among others as second of my list, but for first searches I use 2 AI search engines which show me direct answers to complex questions.
https://andisearch.com
https://www.perplexity.ai
and sometimes also
https://you.comAll of these protect privacy and made by small independent startups
I’ve replaced probably 70% of my searching with ChatGPT.
Thats one hell of a bad idea.
Reddit is still one of the best place to find answers by real people because of the disappearance of traditional forums.
Nah, it was.

Not just with subs going private, but with users purging their comments and posts along with their accounts. Just last night I was talking to a friend about something and wanted to pull up a post from a while back. Lo and behold, deleted and gone.
all attention to this mess is good imho. also remember chat gpt was trained on reddit data i until fall 2021 so should be able to pull on archived zeitgeist for a quick and dirty answer
Reddit was one of the last places on the internet where you could read content without logging in. Almost all of the internet is Dark Web now, inaccessible unless you log in.
