let me tell you briefly how search works in my main's niche of kpop, where i had about 3m monthly sessions last month for august on my platform (kpopping.com)

for 20 years, websites that released idol nudes dominated (https://www.change.org/p/allkpop-com-shut-down-allkpop )

then the first wave of slop that figured out you can buy links (https://x.com/paulkimio/status/1550532282288508929)

and now for the past three and a half years it's been indian news websites that dominate

good riddance to the search-powered internet and seoers, i don't mind bleeding-- i've been bleeding this whole time :)
