What would you call the process whereby it sucks now but worked better in the past? This seems to happen to everything and it's affecting my ability to look shit up.
Basic historical facts are in jeopardy. It's really quite a nuthouse out there. And I'm talking about the vetted Fact Checked sources.

>>514353627I reckon old google did something like an exact pattern match while the current ones do is use ai like algorithms where your search gets converted to a vector and it looks for similarity
>>514353627>What would you call the process whereby it sucks now but worked better in the past?Informally, enshittification.Formally, degradation.

>>514353627Almost no jeets and the internet was more decentralized.
I read some long story about it, but the tl;dr version is: some predator jeet known for screwing up companies took over Google search in the mid 2010's and now it's useless.
If you are tech saavy however, searching for information is easier than ever if you know nlp and web scraping.
>>514353627JeetsBing and duckduxkgo which uses results from Bing is also shitThe only semi good search engine left is yandex a Russian search engine, funny how a Russian search engine is the most free and uncensored.Funny how we in the west used to mock China and North Korea for being surveillance police states, and now we're trying to ban encryption and private communications, put backdoors in all our electronics, keep massive Troves of personal data on every citizen that makes it so so spy agencies and ad companies can predict what you are thinking, arresting and improsoning people for wrongthink
>>514353627>the process whereby it sucks now but worked better in the pastenshittification. it's a technical term.
>>514353627The term is enshitificationThe unfortunate thing is that basically all search engines descend from either Google or bing and both got shitty. Brave search descends from one of them but I have noticed it's better sometimes.I think part of it is that everything used to be on the open web and now the vast majority of stuff is hidden behind apps and logins for Facebook/Instagram .. now AI has started abusing and monetizing what's left out in the open and they will lock down access to them
Planned obsolescence
>>514353627It was unironically too effective by instantly showing relevant results which meant they couldn't get much ad revenue, so things spiralled from there and here we are.
>>514353627Ads + SEO. Mostly the latter, it’s a fucking plague.
>>514353627>AI>Banning Indian websites>Censorship>Biasyou name it.
>>514356874Nah it's more than likely Indian coding. Every website on the Internet has ads through Google's ad network. Google gets paid 99 cents and the site gets a penny per dollar. Bing is pretty pathetic as well. Yandex is still decent for the most part.
>>514353627they changed it again so every result has its own box around itthey changed youtube a week or so ago too, you can no longer scroll down in fullscreen mode to see the comments
>>514353627Don't google shit yourself, use Gemini to google shit for you.
>>514353627Google is intentionally making its search results worse so that people will use their Gemini service as a replacement for traditional Google search. They want this because it gives them more engagement, more data, and more control over the information which is presented to the user.
>>514354176Jeeted, for short
>>514353627Pajeetification
>>514353745>HomographyYou would.
>>514353627aiindian programmingdei/pc filtering
It used to show you literally any relevant result and use the same search functions as library or archive systems meaning you could find very specific information using the correct Boolean operations but this was too difficult for normies so they just started pushing suggested results and eventually turned the entire site into an ad revenue generator
>>514353627>What would you call the process whereby it sucks now but worked better in the past?enshittening
>>514353627Use Kagi
>>514358173That's a neat mascot. I'll give it a try
>>514358607Highly recommended. It is as close to what Google used to be.
>>514353627Before it was full of pajeets. Imagine, back then nobody would ever look at page 2.
google has been pozzed for years, Yandex is breddy gud and it's russian
>>514353627one of the search engineers in recent years said they tweaked the results so that you dont get what you want on the first try to encourage users to search more and see more ads. wasting your time was more profitable.
>>514358173do you have to make an account to use this shit??
>>514353627it became POZZED as soon as the jeet CEO was hired.like google is literally useless now you get 2 pages of results none of which are what you're looking for and just ads
>>514359512Ah yes this makes sense now
>>514353627You can pay Google to show your page. The first 5 results of any search are guaranteed to be ads, viruses, and mainstream sites You used to have to add reddit to everything to make Google work (I don't use google)
>>514359649In my job i literally caught a google ad that referred to a popular bank with the exact same login page and of course fake SSl certs to verify this because ssl is cancer itself and anyone can verify a page. Google is just AIDS now
results being populated by ai/jeet slop, and normies clicking them so they end up at the top of the results, thus incentivising more ai/jeet slop
>>514359559Yes but give it a try before you get upset about it. They are actually entirely privacy oriented. PrivacyPass exists as a feature and you can pay using crypto as well if you want to be more anonymous.
>>514359512combine this with-deliberate censorship-"trusted site" promotion-developer incompetence-SEOand you have the jewgle of current year
>>514354176They are synonyms
its called JEETDEFICATION
>>514353627the word you're looking for is "enshittification"Google's really in the ad business, and making their searches shittier makes you more likely to click on ads
Every retard "web developer" uses nodejs or some sort of javascript variety as a backend today instead of old trad regular php asp or even coldfusion, what more could you ask?Only idiots use node programming. Real coder chads use the old ways.
>>514359559Take a look at this shithttps://help.kagi.com/kagi/plans/plan-types.html
>>514360805It make me more likely to ask Grog instead of google.
>>514353627Internet 1.0 was geared towards information sharing Internet 2.0 is geared toward advertising
>>514353627>Shitification
>>514353627>What would you call the process whereby it sucks now but worked better in the past?It's called enshittification, there's a book about it
>>514362193>It make me more likely to ask Grog instead of google.Just use Yandex, it finds everything. Google hides everything like Putlocker and torrents and stuff nowadays, it's useless.
>>514362820K; Will do.
>>514353910Probably this or something like this. Basically old Google worked on keywords, entering a couple of words would yield better results and you would get answers from more various sources. New Google has been altered to work with the normie brain way of asking a question. Parallel to this you had redditification, where instead of getting a wider range of websites and sources like forums that would closely match the keywords, the query now gets filtered into approved websites that are either something like Reddit or Wikipedia or some consoom product thing. The final nail in the coffin is the AI generated answer being the first result, essentially ensuring that people don't go on deep dives that could deviate from approved narratives.

The Death of Know Your Meme. Thanks, Google.https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/knowyourmeme-sunset
>>514353627AI filling the internet with schizobabble since 2015 and jeets purposefully worsening the engine not to have information rapidly available.
>>514358173wtf I love it, thanks anon
>>514364141Glad to hear. They are really great.
>>514353627Hebrewfication, the process of jews buying businesses as soon as they become profitable and scrapping them from the inside.
>>514353627Enshitification. It’s an actual real thing look it up.
Enshitification aka Indianization
Does anyone still use google? I hate how the first results for an image search are one word descriptions of what the picture could possibly be, and then you have ads before you get to similar image searches. At least with bing you can get something back from the botnet.
>>514357978>It used to show you literally any relevant result and use the same search functions as library or archive systems meaning you could find very specific information using the correct Boolean operations but this was too difficult for normiesYep.
>>514353627Yandex. Anytime I can't find something it's top result on Yandex. Especially good for based material AND they don't seem to give a fuck about copy write law, huge bonus.
>>514353627It used to be run by White Men, now it's run by Hindus
>>514362820>it's useless.Same with duckduck, it was the best competitor for google until google 'invested' in the company, these days any kind of search will bombard me with a bunch of mainstream pop culture fact checking politically correct sites.
>>514355371We came for the jews, the sacred cow.
>>5143536273 factors1. Returning 100 million results is more expensive than returning 1002. Google makes money with ads. If people find what they need immediately, they spend less time searching. This means less ad money. Shitty results = more ad revenue3. Google also makes money promoting content. You pay Google to boost your results, you get to be at the top. It has gotten so egregious that Google changes what your search is to return results that target sponsored contentJeets are responsible but not due to shitty code. This is an intentional business decision to extract as much money as possible. The jeet C suite ousted anyone outspoken to this philosophy and the shareholders love them for it
>>514353627They hired the same "engineer" for google that destroyed yahoo, he then proceeded to destroy google too (and If you are wondering, yes it was a jeet).
>>514353772Advertising and its consequences are a net negative for value generation. Only retards are susceptible to ads, which don't correlate to product quality.- Billboards, which are illegal in certain municipalities, will be illegal everywhere.- Advertising to the public will be illegal anywhere other than a storefront or venue.- Attempts at circumvention such as paying for or creating shill accounts will carry the death penalty.- Advertising to subscribers will carry the death penalty. Subscription models will have to support the business model solitarily.>Ultimately- If people want to be advertised to they can OPT-IN to advertising streams and have that goyslop sent directly to their phone.- Having the tick box to opt in to advertising by default will carry the death-by-torture penalty.Advertising should be viewed as an assault on the psyche. It is nothing more than a private profit-seeking psychological operation.Vote for me for benevolent dictator of the global utopia.
>>514353910>>514355371Late last century and early 2000’s, the CIA policy to undermine foreign regimes was to use free speech to undermine their authoritarian grip: places like facebook and google were given seed funding and help.Today, it has become apparent to our governments that authoritarianism is the only way to stay in power, thus they’ve adopted censorship. Now everything must become obfuscated.
>>514353627You literally can’t find up to date crime rate by race stats on google anymore. I tried the other day and couldn’t find shit
>>514353627They made it worse so you would stay on their search results longer and click advertisements
>>514357161Does that work, is it effective? Considering that most AI chat bots still are unreliable and not that impressive
>>514353627Try putting -ai after your search. It will make the search with older version without the ai-shit.
I remember when you could write some words you had written in an obscure forum or blog and it would find it, even comments in news webpages. It was amazing. Of course they took it out.
>>514353627https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification
>>514353627the goals changed. they lured you in with a search engine, and now that you're hooked they've turned it into a brainwashing machine.
>>514353627It didn't work better at all lolI distinctly remember switching between Google, lycos, and yahoo cause they were all equally terrible
You think goolag is bad? Try hipster search "engines" like brave.>Claims they are not pozzed. Are more pozzed than goolag most of the time>Doesn't give decent search results 50% of the timeduckduckgo is owned by a literal kike stealing results from bing (and filtering political stuff he doesn't like, like russian takes on ukraine).I am so tired of this shit.
>>514369549Ok jeet
>>514353627Do you not know how to use search modifiers? I can usually find anything I'm looking for, even on current year dogshit googol.
>>514353627Jews.
>>514369485It started with "playing games" like if your website had anti-immigration content it would bump it down even as a more relevant result, but by Summer 2020 it had become like cable TV.
>>514356802>I think part of it is that everything used to be on the open web and now the vast majority of stuff is hidden behind apps and loginsDon't forget shitcord. A lot of software development moved to that shitty platform full of trannies and furries.
>>514358173>https://vladimir.prelovac.com/jaksic-crest.pngyeah, no.
>>514361625Fuck that noise.
>>514353627internet search is a paid service now and only certain entities are allowed to pay for it.
it's a total mystery why so much has declined in quality
the world may never know
a puzzle wrapped in an enigma
>>514353627less variables on the priority hierarchy
>>5143536271. Google switched everything they do to LE ALGORITHM which is just a sorting and indexing algorithm but worse and nobody actually knows how it works2. Google branched out to owning youtube and other shit, and it promotes its own websites to the detriment of search results3. Scumbags with shitty aggregator websites whose business model is just to get clicked on and serve ads and steal data and have no interest whatsoever in actually being a good source of information have been figuring out for years how to make their garbage websites appear at the top of searches and they've become exceedingly efficient at itThe result: every fucking google search on any fucking topic, for every relevant result you'll get several pages of garbage youtube videos by mouthbreathing indians and TOP 10 [your search topic] websites with articles by chatGPT
>>514354315ads killed the internet
the internet is dying because it's been shared too far. much of what you suspected as bots has actually been outsourced thirdies reciting from scripts and following flow-charts. someone handed them smartphones and said the world is an open society. they don't know or care what the internet was supposed to be. everything is just another mercenary slum-hustle for pocket peanuts, helping to echo and amplify a mainstream (or subversion) narrative when they're not simply noise polluting
>>514353772That's why monopolies suck, they can just chase the quarterly profits growth disregarding everything else and their enterprise won't really take a hit because there is no alternative to it.Fortunately AI massively lowered the entry barrier in everything related to software. Those niche devs that you had to have in order to get into some industry will no longer be that important any longer.
>>514373652There was some article I read recently that said they intentionally worsened search results to make people browse for longer and so have a higher chance of clicking an ad. Just a shitty practice that a monopoly can definitely get away with.
