It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.

So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

Jesus thank you. And also dont post screenshots of web pages. We've gotten much worse since the reddit exodus.

A little study of philosophy helps us ask and consider better questions, a little study of google helps us consider a world without CEOs and the constant encroachment of enshittification for shareholder profits.

Correct.

Use udm14.org instead.

I mean, the biggest issue with me for the great googlio isn't the ads and the ai, both of which I hate, but the actual shit-infested results. It's not removing the ads full of SEO that are posing as websites, it's just giving you an old UI for the new 2025™ search.
