All search tools now seem to actively prevent you from being able to seek news or information that wasnt 'published' in the last few years. Since the web is our primary source for everything now its like we've been cut off from even recent history by not being able to find stuff from even 10 years ago.Has the ruining of search engines been intentional to create a society that has extreme amnesia?
>>535871734Probably.
>>535871734Use search operators you moron. Type [what your searching for] before:2016
>>535871734>Was destroying the usefulness of search engines done on purpose?Duh. They want you controlled and dumb, NOT informed. The internet is a small fraction of the size of the internet in the early 2000s. Think about that.
>>535871734Yandex still works but google is finished
>>535871963This wasn't necessary before COVID
>>535871734>buy Alphabet stock goy
>>535871734yes, zoomers may not remember this but you used to be able to google something and almost every time you'd find exactly what you were looking for on the first page of results before they started fucking with the algorithm
>>535871734Image searches really suck now. A lot of searches get hijacked into oblivion by promotional shit for movies probably intentionally named after common concepts, interests and things of historical significance that people are likely to search.

>>535871734Ruining search engines was done to drive ad impressions, if you can't find what you need on page 1, you navigate to page 2 and page 3, and see 3x as many ads as you would have if you saw the result at the top of page 1.This was actually an intentional strategy by the head of search at Googlehttps://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/It's not about keeping society ignorant, it was about slightly increasing Google earnings to increase their stock price
>>535871734inb4 muh microsoftI've been using Copilot a lot here the past several months. Its not perfect but so much better than google
>>535871734Yes, it's well-documented WHY Google intentionally made its search worse: to encourage users to view more Google ads.
>>535871734Yes. Google originally was a nightmare for the rich, the famous, and the cogs in various corporate and government machines. You could reverse image search some random nobody in the back of a press release headline image and find their entire facebook profile and even some internal corporate or government profiles that weren't properly protected from being indexed. Even if the page was private, Google still managed to preview it anyway. They deliberately nerfed the system because a bunch of pornstars and government stooges were being doxed and haven't stopped nerfing it since. They want you to see the sponsored results and that's about it.
>>535872297good article
>>535873210The guy that did this sabotage actually got promoted for this work, if you want to know how corrupted and twisted Google is under Sundar
>>535874142That's just corporations in general. Anything that boosts short term share value is rewarded handsomely even if it destroys the company entirely next quarter and everyone knows it's coming. The fiduciary duty of executives is to maximize share value asap. They get huge bonuses for it and can be fired or even sued if they deliberately take actions that do not maximize share value by the next investor call.
