Here’s my theory… Google wants to artificially fuck up it’s search functionality. It wants to offer good performance for a fee. And it’s going to be doing that by giving it’s own AI the correct filters while at the same time tripping every other AI capable of searching the net such that the other AI results become garbage and only the Google one works correctly. Anyway that’s my conspiracy theory, fuck Google with a bunch of sharp forks.
I think it’s simply a question of what are Google’s interests. Users doesn’t pay anything to Google for the service, so that’s not where Google’s interests are. Advertisers pay Google, so that’s where Google’s interests are. Google has no interests to make the search better for users, they want to make it better for advertisers.
To do that, you simply have to inform users about other available search engines and remind them again that those exist when one of their searches fails.
This is a long used lie that has been peddled for at least a decade now.
Google chased off or directly let go most of its actual good talent that originally shaped the search engine into common household usage, and shifted their focus from providing good search results to catering to its advertisers.
The SEO war is kind of bullshit as google has all the access and knowledge to real-time identify SEO wrangling more than any other organization in human history, with the money to fund any number of research and dev groups to fix it.
But they don’t care.
Because people will still use it even if it is shitty, because of momentum and default device settings.
So google doesn’t care, they don’t need to fix it as they are in no risk (at the moment) of losing their top ranking.
Mainly because people are stupid and slaves to momentum.
And AI is just making it worse. Entire websites of SEO-optimized content can be generated in seconds now. No one will be able to keep up with all that!
It’s much simpler than that. Google is an ad company, not a search company. SEO spam gives them ad clicks just the same as quality content, if not more so. As long as they don’t became bad enough that everybody switches to the competition, they simply don’t have to care.
It’s not about the ads on Google.com, but the ads on the SEO sites themselves, those are also served by Google. Ever heard of DoubleClick? That’s also Google. If Google Search would give you good clean non-commercial sites without ads, they would lose money.

Or they just cannot complete with literal millions of people attempting to optimize their webpages for discovery using Google.
If other services like kagi can offer better results they should be able as well, right?

Advertisers pay Google, so that’s where Google’s interests are. Google has no interests to make the search better for users, they want to make it better for advertisers.
They still need to make the system appealing to users.
If users had higher standards, then Google would have to meet those standards or lose out on business.
To do that, you simply have to inform users about other available search engines and remind them again that those exist when one of their searches fails.

It does? I thought the point of SEO was to show up in search results without having to pay for keyword placement.
It’s not about the ads on Google.com, but the ads on the SEO sites themselves, those are also served by Google. Ever heard of DoubleClick? That’s also Google. If Google Search would give you good clean non-commercial sites without ads, they would lose money.
Exactly. Google has an incentive to send you to the most ad infested seo garbage, that just barely answers your search.
