Big tech company lying again? *Pretends to be shocked*

I'd be more impressed when someone leaks the youtube recommendation algorithm

YouTube SEO is even worse nowadays I can’t even find what I’m searching for even if I type the title of the video word for word, I still have to scroll down to find the video that I'm looking for.

google is one of the reasons the internet feels a lot smaller. it points everyone to the same sites.

The last (only?) honest thing Google did was remove the "Don't be evil" thing from their marketing.

Remember like 10 years ago the Netflix recommendations were just spooky accurate guessing exactly what I would like. Then at some point it changed and nothing but Adam Sandler movies or whatever crap they wanted to promote clogged the recommendations and that remarkable feature became useless. Greed is really poison.

What's absolutely crazy is that in the initial paper where they introduce Google, they explain that they expect more and more search results to be biased in favor of advertisers. In other words, they literally foreshadowed the inshitetification of Google from the very beginning.

Been a content writer for almost 2 years and I still think SEO ruined the internet. It's such a soulless field.

[last.journey]

I used to search "how to " and i get some articles with actuall solutions nowadays it's all companies trying to sell there products with the title "how to" in it
Like i would not notice

[pvytolh]

Every time I Google anything, I need to scroll past 5 or 6 sponsored links that have nothing to do with my search

[daveblack]

I don't know about you guys, but I am waiting for KFC's recipe to leak on Github 🤣🤣

[unsaltedskies]

This explains why I can never find what I'm looking for.

Now where did I leave my keys?

"+20000 staged files pushed... Must have been a glitch, probably nothing"

Google unironically stopped using "Don't be evil" as a motto years ago. I'm not dunking on them it's literally is what they actually decided upon.

"Data collected from a user's browser affects clicks" does that mean that if you launch a website, when Google notices you looking for things they're against, they punish and bury you?

"Google's founding motto was 'don't be evil'. A phrase that was included in their official code of conduct. But in 2018 they quietly removed all references to it and sadly more everyday that's exactly what they are becoming." ~ Mark Dice

[mikiqex]

Google discontinued "Don't Be Evil" motto in 2015 during restructuralization to Alphabet and removed it altogether in 2018.
