I expect we'll lose about 90% of the web within five years as this becomes normalized.
It will primarily be the seo driven AI crap driven ripoff regurgitated shitfest that's arisen in the last 5 years tho.
I'll be waiting for a search engine to arise that only shows user controllable presentation and will use that.
A way to filter out the corporate trash will make the human web better, not worse.
Check out Kagi. It's a subscription search service since they don't show you ads, but that also means they don't track you at all (no search history, for example). They also let you influence the priorities of the sites you see in the results or even completely block them, and the results are usually better than Google with less bullshit – or even at worst as good as Google. Some people seem to be skeptical about paying for a search engine, but everybody wanting shit for free is what got us into this fucking mess in the first place
I second this, was about to recommend Kagi, auto filters listicles, fantastic for actually finding information written by real people on blogs and things that aren't SEO spam
Quick bangs alone almost make it worth it for me. The functionality exists in other browsers but it's not synced, so being universal in the search engine itself is a giant usability improvement for me. Especially when using in conjunction with Orion.
A subscription search is an interesting idea, is there any more info about the company behind Kagi available anywhere? Looking from my phone I can't find much
I personally moved from Google to DDG a few years ago, and the last time I tried Google the results were bootywaste.
I'm pretty satisfied with Kagi after using it for a bit over two months.
Which part? I feel it will be part I don't even want. I might be forced to use that part for work, but that will be nice filter.
I was thinking that "they" ( governments and big corporations) should have their own internet which is clean and ordered and "safe" and leave us on other part. This might be a way to achieve that.
