Study finds "search engines seem to lose the cat-and-mouse game that is SEO spam."

I guess we all kinda knew that, but it’s always nice to have a study backing your opinions.

    Kagi has started using search results from Brave’s search index. The LGBT community disapproved of this because of past homophobic actions by Brave’s CEO Brendan Eich.

      Oh, that. Yeah, I’m not personally worried that they used it very lightly as one of a dozen sources and then stopped.

        The problem was mainly their questionable response

        Fool me once…

        Twitter has a similar problem. The more the CEO injects personal politics into the function of the site, the less confidence people have that a new search won’t be fucked with. Whatever you might say about Google, Bing, and Yahoo, their owners have at least kept their politics closer to the chest.

      Thats a terrible reason to not use something that works well though. I mean the founder or CEO of any major bank is probably a shit person with bad takes like racism but does it make their banking service any less useful?
