I know that the source is more focused on retro gaming as a topic but the topic of this post is Google and its pagerank algorithm which is more appropriate for this community.
We’ve all noticed the enshittification of Google Search over the last few months, but it’s still hard to hear how it is affecting content creators and putting them out of business so we can see 20 AI generated spam pages about whatever our query is.
While Google certainly has a lot of responsibility for how shit their search results have become and the effects they have on website operators, the SEO industry can all go eat a giant bag of dicks for being the driving force behind making search results worthless trash.
What a sad faith for a website named after the glorious Dodo.
Faith
Fate?
Indeed, thanks!
…months?
Homie, Google search took a downturn in 2012, then a sharp downturn in 2018.
Months??
Over a decade.
It was so good in 2004. It would find the good shit until people gamed the backlink strategy to the point Google stopped really using it
Tbh, retro dodo’s site and content is shit. Retro Game Corps is the shit.
I still have a lot of de-googling to do. However at this point, I only use google as a search engine maybe once/month, and it’s frankly usually for the google business info…thing. For everything else, I use Kagi and quite frankly have not looked back. Probably one of the few services that I happily pay for.
