The web is filled with content designed for Google, not humans.

    People should read the article, despite what the post title might suggest.

    It’s about Google SEO steering web contents into repetitive-buzz-word-filled articles.

    A deeper dive into how its homogenising the internet and its affect on content creators.

    Poor choice of post title though.

    Good article, but expect down votes from people who did not read the title. If you feel like changing it, I think Lemmy lets you.

      I think you mean read “past” the title.

      And you would be correct, because why would anyone red past a title so full of BS?

      Google didn’t perfect the web, anything but. If it’s a hyperbolic title, we’ll then it fails to get me to click because it’s not interesting: I already know Google didn’t perfect the web, so I doubt the author has anything I’d care to read.

      Now, if it said “How Google Fucked the Web”, I may click.

      Thing is, I knew from the first year of Google how they were going to fuck the web, simply by being so much better at search, everyone would default to them, which is a bad thing.

        With a stupid title.

        So I’ll never know how good it is. Not worth my click.

    The animations showing the transformation of a page into a blah-SEO clone really sold the article for me. Really reminds me of how shitty the “modern” web is nowadays. I also think it’s time I signed up for Kagi.
