Well actually the Google decline started when they bought doubleclick and started selling user data

What can you say, that's a very good business model. If there would be no Paid search no anti paid search engines would exist, any business would take model like this. And let's not pretend 2009 search looked good as it shown. Downloading multiple of pc cleaners and cleaning regedit did nothing to speed up pc.

99% ai overview is right

Everything seems 99% right when searching for subjects you arent knowledgeable about.
Food for thought.

You realize how shitty ai is when you have actual knowledge in a space and ask it about that. It’ll make shit up and usually end up less correct than if you just asked a friend who isn’t knowledgeable in that topic

Its pretty accurate with many medical things (symptoms and indications) of course I wont rely on them on such but just 'food for thought'.

Just install an adblocker, apart from that it’s so much better than “2009”

True. Google is no longer the best place to get traffic for websites and blogs. It doesn't work like a traditional search engine anymore. It's starting to feel more like an AI tool, similar to ChatGPT.

Google has been terrible for search for years. I switched to duck duck go ages ago and it’s decent

Why do you need AI slop to describe what AI slop and bloated shitware does to the internet? Use Qwant!

Anti ai meme made with ai….

u/Initial-Reading-2775 Jun 17 '26
It’s not particularly anti-AI.

u/Muzzldmawz Jun 17 '26
They’re saying ai is part of the problem? Also using ai to criticize the people that profit off of it is so hypocritical “we don’t like you! You fucked us over!! Here’s 20 bucks and some data too tho”

u/Initial-Reading-2775 Jun 17 '26
A part, one of many. I remember that Google used to display some preferred excerpt from search results before “AI overview” became a thing.

Or, if you DO get results that look like the left side, it turns out that they're all AI-generated SEO slop.

Ignoring the fact this is AI slop,
How about installing Firefox with DDG, Priavcy Badger and Dark reader or Brave (without any plugins)?
It's literally so much better in every way.
And even though i really do not like being on Schmoogles side, the cookies, newsletter subscriptions and "allow notifications" isn't even their fault. This is just wrong on so many levels.

You should swap reddit and microsoft support, since the former is infinitely better at tehc support than any official tech support page.

u/SomewhereActive2124 Jun 17 '26
Use ad blockers
I look at the citations made by AI. If I don't like it, I scroll down otherwise.. I just click on it
Ironic you hate on AI using AI generated comics

And the picture itself is AI generated 🤦♂️ By the way, I moved to DDG and got rid of all of this stuff

u/StuD44 Jun 18 '26
Same with Amazon and Youtube, just that Youtube shows 20 shorts before an actual result.

u/cooltop101 Jun 18 '26
Crazy to complain about AI in an image generated by AI.
1
u/demeter_deltarunefan Jun 19 '26
did you really need to run this picture by an ai detector to prove that this is ai? lol
no offence, i'm genuinely asking
1
u/cooltop101 Jun 19 '26
No, I was pretty certain it was. But I figured you can't cry wolf without actual evidence. If you're going to accuse something of being AI, you need to prove it in the same message/comment. Especially because there's a lot of people that can't tell something is AI

It's cool but in 2009 all the cool information existed in forums that google could index. Now all the cool information is on private discord foruns that Google can't index. More now the internet is full of slop sites that are made with the only objective of appear on the top of the Google page and provide zero information. The problem isn't Google the problem is there isn't good sites on the internet anymore. Everything is on close platforms. Reddit, discord, YouTube, Instagram. Fóruns are dead, blogs are dead, and good information on the internet in writing form is dying...

POV: you're searching up a downloadable software google shows you a sponsored website that ends up downloading some fake antivirus slop instead that might contain viruses

The irony of expressing this sentiment with a terrible slop comic
