I don't even know if there's even SEO to speak of still after they brought an update ~2022 where the top results are dominated by the usual big websites (mainly wikipedia, britannica, and tons of mainstream media). It's like no matter what I look for it's the same websites. Video game? Steam page. Movie? IMDB. Current events? Al Jazeera (for some reason lol), BBC, Guardian, etc. What is even the point of a search engine if it's only going to redirect you to e-commerce products (this is also a big one I forgot about, every image search now is products you can buy) and the top 10 visited websites in the world. I can also do a search on imdb directly.

And if you type a common word that is also the name of a movie good luck finding anything but the movie. It used to be better and it bothers me that younger people will grow up in a world where me saying this will sound like I'm rambling about nostalgia or something because all they will have known is shitty search engines, but no, it used to work perfectly well!!
