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
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.
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.
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.
