    If the algorithm is made open source, it’ll likely be even easier for spammers to exploit it to spam SEO crap. ~Nai

      I kind of doubt that they would optimize for an underdog in the search engine space, they’d be spending money on something fundamentally unprofitable, also because there’s going to be a high overlap between the users of such an engine and those who would use an ad/content blocker

        Maybe, but if it gains popularity for being better than Google or something, then the quality would probably go down significantly. ~Nai

          Of course, can’t argue with that. It would have to be really really good in order to make it though, idk, maybe it’s just a childish whim of mine hah
