MODERATORS
They also built a search engine, and its results are also loaded with spammy, scammy garbage .. There's a lot of that on the internet. It'll be great when ai, or something can tell the difference better than I can.
Yeah I mean Google are literally the reason recipes have to have a big waffley story instead of getting straight to the point.
Well, part of the reason. Ultimately it boils down to the usual suspects, money/greed/power, and Google being used like a radio station. If all the content going in was clean, Google's tools would probably have much less being wrong .. I guess at least by filling them with crap, we'll find out if they can work out the difference or not.
Back in the day, websites weren't full of all this crap. But most of us were lucky to have double digit kbps on a timed meter so there's that.
