Those ai generated aggregated websites that are coming up non stop in search results are fucking cancer. We need a mechanism of scoring content that can’t be easily gamed rather than just trusting SEO text the content itself- maybe some way to just downvote AI shit to hell, but damn that’s a challenge.

I’ve noticed them a lot more now, as well.
I spend so much mental energy reading the same 3 points worded differently across 5-10 subjects/headings/tips/sections/whatever in the same webpage/blog.

Like, trying to figure out what it’s talking about only to realise I’m reading something I’ve already read, just worded in a different way.

Makes me want to go back to adding “reddit” to my search results
