Gregory's Server@danluu I don’t think Google is worse, I think the internet in general is worse. I would say Google is at least the same as it was before. Maybe better. But if you’re searching through rubbish all day, no matter how good you are at searching you’re going to mostly find rubbish

@siderea @danluu I dunno, especially with the majority of internet traffic being consolidated across like 10 domains I don’t feel like that same level of diversity, of creativity, of authentic sets of folks posting exists to the same degree it did even a decade ago. I feel like this consolidation has vastly decreased the quality of the independent web as we know it. It is significantly less interesting than it was as I remember it before consolidation  @Darriengineer This reads like one of these "Kids these days..."-posts, but it still feels correct.  @Darriengineer Oh I can believe it. Part of the problem is even if there is exactly as much quality new content being generated, it's lost in an ever-increasing flood of sewage. But I also think people who would otherwise be inclined to generate quality new content are less likely to do so in the context of an ever-increasing flood of sewage. For a variety of reasons. |

Except all the good stuff that used to be there is mostly still there. You just can't find it through Google.
This is one of the reasons I am so religious about using a bookmarker. Once I lose a URL, at this point I have to assume there's no search on earth that will ever bring it back up.
