> Redix for Redis connections in Elixir

I googled this exact sentence, and the third result was a link to the blog this post is about.

I'm guessing there is a bit of a feedback loop now since people try this, search for the slopsite and click it, boosting it higher. For me it was top result (in incognito, not personalized).

Two things you can do:

- Navigate back and open another link. This signal is used to downrank for given query (google assumes the site did no provide satisfying answer)

- Explicitly provide result feedback. Unfortunately there isn't a category for "this is slop" but "inaccurate" works.
