This seems like a good time for someone to create a search engine.

Try duck duck go. It's mature and seemingly flawless

Searching "SpaceX starship" on Google just now in Firefox with adblock origin, not logged into Google, on mobile I get:

  • Summary of the vehicle from Wikipedia with relevant pictures on the first card
  • The SpaceX page for the vehicle on the second card
  • Relevant videos on the third card
  • SpaceX's twitter on the fourth card

Doing the same in mobile chrome, logged in, no ad block:

  • Adverts for starship toys in the first card
  • Relevant news stories in the second card
  • Wikipedia summary
  • SpaceX's starship page
  • Relevant videos
  • SpaceX twitter

So if you're getting other crap, use ad block. I presume the comic was made while Google was adding LLM results, which they aren't doing now. I can't say I noticed the LLM results while they were included.

If search engines really wanted to fix this--and it would require Google and Bing taking action, not smaller search engines--they could de-list any company that engaged in SEO so that nothing from that company showed up in searches at all.

don't use google. basically any engine is better. I would recommend using a searxng instance. Soi that nobody can ever enshittify it ever again

[–] emergence_trailblazer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Use searx: https://searx.github.io/searx/ It provides the expected results and do not track you. You can even host it yourself

Or you can take a look at the list of instances here: https://searx.space/

Maybe if less people sucked the dick of LLMs then it wouldn't pervade every facet of our lives?

You're still using google?
