{@https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>#jcl6z3a} On the search engine madness going on...\n\n> if I use Google, they will present Google results first. That's my choice/tradeoff. But forcing them to present things that I have no interest in, and which I could find in 10 seconds if I wanted to seek them out, is just breaking the search engine as far as I'm concerned.\n> I will likely - like paid listings - never use this news showcase junk. If I think that the search engine of my choice wasn't returning the things I want, or returning things that I don't want, then I'll go to another.\n> Google won the search wars initially by returning the most relevant of results with the least amount of spam. It's a hard job in the modern age. They were so good at it, it made them one of the largest companies in the world on the back of a pittance of advertising revenue per search.\n> And now you want to tell them what should be most relevant on their search engine?
