Most search results nowadays are SEO farms. Posts I read are also mostly just someone debugging a weird bug for endless hours only cause they were mad, just grep output and the fix.

At one point Google (and I presume other search engines) actively searched for and penalised content / SEO farms, hostile user patterns like invasive popups, even policing site performance. It's like they just gave up.

I'm looking forward to AI summaries killing SEO farms.
