    Here’s my theory… Google wants to artificially fuck up it’s search functionality. It wants to offer good performance for a fee. And it’s going to be doing that by giving it’s own AI the correct filters while at the same time tripping every other AI capable of searching the net such that the other AI results become garbage and only the Google one works correctly. Anyway that’s my conspiracy theory, fuck Google with a bunch of sharp forks.

      Or they just cannot complete with literal millions of people attempting to optimize their webpages for discovery using Google.

        If other services like kagi can offer better results they should be able as well, right?

          I think it’s simply a question of what are Google’s interests. Users doesn’t pay anything to Google for the service, so that’s not where Google’s interests are. Advertisers pay Google, so that’s where Google’s interests are. Google has no interests to make the search better for users, they want to make it better for advertisers.

            They still need to make the system appealing to users.

            If users had higher standards, then Google would have to meet those standards or lose out on business.
