There is no way that Google canceled this because people would lose jobs. They found it was not worth their time, or they would not make enough money. There’s nothing good about Google.
In addition, Googles search results have gone to shit. You used to be able to find what you needed (without drilling down with specific keywords) near the top of the first page. Now you usually have to go through a few pages to find anything close to what you want. You can thank the seo bullshit for this. So many shit filled articles now mostly written by “AI” clutter up the search results.
Basically these people apparently weren’t doing a good job as it is.
Also negative modifiers don’t work on Google. Quotation marks and the - are both useless so I cant be specific.
Yeah wtf is up with that? That’s what sold me on Google originally and now it’s gone or completely ignored. I’ve since switched to duckduckgo. I honestly couldn’t tell you if it was any better, but I’m so annoyed with Google results that anything’s better
On duckduckgo those are only suggestions that shape the results. They aren’t “ignored” but also aren’t enforced. You can search for things in quotes that don’t ever show up and put a minus sign on things that do show up.
It fucking infuriates me, but it is still better than Google.
Kinda worries me when there’s a typo in the headline of a tech article.
*Gusto
The most obvious reason for this is that whatever they were doing doesn’t seem to help a lot.
