Holy fuck.
If you ever need an example of how search has devolved into absolute dogshit, try searching for “is it bad if my cat eats cardboard?”.
Every result you get is going to be #enshittified #AI-written slop meant to keep you on the page as long as possible while it serves you a flurry of ads, useless videos, and pop-ups looking to harvest your personal data.
I don’t need a 1200 word treatise on the evolution of the instinctual drives of Felis Catus, a simple yes or no will do. 🤦♂️

in reply to *|FNAME|* 🇨🇦 • • •I try not to go directly to (or directly use) goog or ding these days as I have a searx instance. It helps, much of the time, but, it of course still relies on these sources and can only do so much.
When I go to goog directly these days I always thumbs down the AI suggested crap. The sooner that crap goes away, the better.
I wish I had a good suggestion for you to help, but alas, pretty soon we’ll all just ask our search questions on Reddit and hope for the best. 😉
