    while it’s not great, a ton of websites did this to themselves by turning every 1 paragraph piece of information into a 5 page listicle with ads splattered all over the place. I don’t think AI search stuff would be nearly as popular if websites didn’t make their content impossible to view.

      Those aren’t the valuable sites, though. They’re content/SEO farms whose main purpose is to serve ads to eyeballs for profit. Many of those ads are hosted by Google themselves.

      And which tech giant threw up their hands and let those shit-tier websites take over search results… I’ll give you one guess.
