What are "SEO spam tactics"? I would google, but am afraid of that now.

Nah.

What the average user is looking for is almost certainly gonna be near the top of a Google search.

If they haven't gotten into this habit in the last 20 years anyways, I don't think the SEO spam was that last straw. That ship has sailed.

Wasn't seo revamped like decades ago because it was prone to spam? And now is best bid get to be in the first pages/results?

There’s actually a lot of theory and early work out there on the topic of federated search. While existing search aggregators like Searx and YaCY certainly qualify as federated, search infrastructure built from the ground up with decentralization in mind would look very different. All that to say this isn't necessarily the end of the line.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
