I know that the source is more focused on retro gaming as a topic but the topic of this post is Google and its pagerank algorithm which is more appropriate for this community.

We’ve all noticed the enshittification of Google Search over the last few months, but it’s still hard to hear how it is affecting content creators and putting them out of business so we can see 20 AI generated spam pages about whatever our query is.

I still have a lot of de-googling to do. However at this point, I only use google as a search engine maybe once/month, and it's frankly usually for the google business info...thing. For everything else, I use Kagi and quite frankly have not looked back. Probably one of the few services that I happily pay for.
