    Until search engines punish shit like this it will continue to get worse. Unfortunately search engines typically also own the ad networks.

      add to that that google turned to crap nowadays and just pushes meaningless bot generated content in the top pages… it’s getting almost impossible to use it to find stuff. not sure about other engines because I only started recently being search-engine-curious, so no idea how they were like before

        Been using duck duck go for the last year or two. It’s maybe a little better on the bot & blog spam, but not much

        Google beats DDG by a mile when you’re searching something super vague like “movie where Statue of Liberty gets slime sprayed inside”
