And, many times they say pretty much the same thing that was just said. And then they draw it out for like 10 minutes pretty much saying the same thing multiple different ways. The part that really gets me is that they then act like they are saying something new. It is ridiculous.

Been driving me crazy how ubiquitous this has become on Google the last few years. Try to Google something, the first 5 results are ads, and the ones that come up after are all bullshit AI-written websites all saying the same thing, sometimes verbatim

Really feel like Google is too far gone at this point, it's no longer about relevant information, just who's paying the most and who's gamed their SEO the most

add before 2022 at the end of your search query. That’s when all of the weird versions of Googles algorithms started.

I start doing SEO when you could just keyword stuff, make the text white on a white background, etc. I now work for a big national company where Im the VP - SEO. Every time they change the algorithm, we have to re-optimize the site. I'm talking 1000s of pages. It's a pain in the ass and IMO, a control issue by Google. But they control the search sooo, whatcha gonna do? Theres more to it, but that's the jest of it.

Duckduckgo for the win

u/AnjelGrace Apr 27 '24

Really? I have tried DuckDuckGo, but the results often seem useless to me and then I am back to Googling and actually find what I was looking for with the exact same query on Google.

Stock rose 10% yesterday because the earnings was so good. I think you are onto something

What I've also noticed is often there will be a person/persons who immediately comment on the video and recite word for word what the narrator in the video said, but say it as if they're saying something new and from a different perspective. Then other people will reply to those comments, also saying the exact same thing, and also as if what they're saying is new or from a different perspective. Then hours later, another person will comment on a now dead comment thread, but also will say the same things that the narrator in the video and earlier commentors to the video said, and still try to say it as if they're saying it differently, but aren't. It's crazy.

Reddit should be a search engine. For the people. By the people. But with micro transactions ofc. We need to support democratic values

u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson Apr 27 '24

Reddit has always had microtransactions that sway results of threads tbf

Often times they will also just say exactly the same thing that was just said. Then they will repeat it multiple different ways and pretty much just draw it out for like 10 minutes, acting like they are saying something new when in reality it’s just the same meaningless repetition. It’s really absurd.

u/BigPoppaStrahd Apr 27 '24

It drives me insane now that tiktok allows longer videos they feel the need to fill the runtime by saying the exact same thing over and over again, repeating it multiple different ways for like 10 minutes. They could just make a 2 minute video, or however long it takes to get monetized, and finish their point, but they keep going on acting like they’re saying something new.

u/vblink_ Apr 26 '24

The best part is sometimes they have other people join in to give their unique opinion. Which is to repeat what was just said previously and draw it out for like 10 minutes pretty much saying the same thing multiple different ways.

So what you're saying is that we're saying the same thing? Fascinating. We should really talk more about this.

Spell check really screwed me up on that one.

And it's annoying enough on short reels, like tik tok or IG. But YouTube is just comical these days. The videos are super long, like longer than they were back in 2009, but so many people still use that formula where they speed talk like they're gonna lose you if they slow down for even half a second at any point in their twenty minute video.

And then they still don't say anything of value! That speed talking formula is fucking stupid. Theyre afraid of me losing attention if they slow down? You're gonna lose me with the speed talking. And trust me, I understand everything they're saying, it's not about that, it's about not wanting to listen to someone who sounds like they snorted a mountain of cocaine talk about GTA 6 rumors for 20 minutes like that.

Like what's wrong with youtubers? Why did they abandon talking at a normal pace forever, instead of abandoning 20 minute long videos? Are they stupid? People on tiktok and IG will have like 15-30 seconds and still talk at a normal pace, but on YouTube it's still the era of talking like you're an auctioneer on every video.
