As others mentioned, Google just straight up ignores most of my quotes and excludes and just shows me what it wants to. Shockingly bad, I remember a time when if I couldn’t find something, it was my own failing.
edit: this is with ad-blockers etc btw. Imagine using Google raw, must give you e-AIDS
This would low-key be a great way to have your very own sweet sweet human contributed ML-data pipeline, and a pretty high quality community moderated one at that. Give access to 3rd party devs and lock all competing ML techs out. [r word] is valued at $10 billion (fucking lol) but I bet that gutless scumbag sp*z would fold for less than 10% of that if he has more than two braincells to rub together.
Big part of me hopes Google’s myopic corporatised ass never sees the opportunity and we rebuild the mf free internet from here on out.
Thank you for bringing up Kagi, I had never heard of it before. An intriguing idea for sure and I am not averse to paying for searches, but as a serial Google-fu practitioner $10/month for 1000 searches (1.5c per search after) seems quite steep to me. Some days I swear that would last me 24 hours at most. I need to start tracking that I think.
I do however applaud the seeming transparency on their website. It may or may not be for me, but if they really plan to operate how they lay out on their website, it truly is a breath of fresh air and I wish them luck.
I’m not shocked whatsoever. Especially as of a few months ago, I only get SEO spam around 80% of the time, unless I stick [r word] in front of my query. It’s not even just Google or just [r word] going to shit, I can see the internet of just 10 years ago dying in front of my eyes.
I’m only one person but I never returned to Reddit after the blackout. They could do a complete u-turn and even make sp*z that little fucker walk the plank but I would still be done with that place.
I am really excited to see the community we build from here on out.
This whole clown show is reminiscent of fake rapper beefs, which conveniently take place right before both parties are dropping (usually) mediocre albums.
Weren’t these two about to have some bullshit boxing match? And now they’re suing each other? I hope this all turns out to be a jump-the-shark moment for both these parasites.
