I feel like google is prioritizing reddit way more than regular forums . Quora is the second most annoying thing , Search for y , Click on top result which is Quora > Either it's a personal opinion or a brand account answering or the real answer is locked behind subscription . Not to mention the dominance of large brands like this https://detailed.com/google-control/ and non existent personal sites . But i am still pessimistic about new search engines like bing has backing of a behemoth microsoft yet can't copy simple features from google.
I feel like at least on Reddit results you'll get something that may be helpful. The Quora results have NEVER resulted in something useful for me.
Quora and LinkedIn are also heavily overrun with AI garbage. Quora does it flat out, and LinkedIn launched Pulse to farm millions of AI generated topics and then invite its users to contribute.
LinkedIn is now one of the top results for topics like metaphysics, quantum physics, etc.
It’s a clown show.
I've also noticed that I'm getting top results from companies who definitely have big AdSense spend, theres likely a bias or ads aren't labeled at all. However, with some companies I sometimes find that the page being listed often doesn't even exist anymore or is simply just a title of an article who's keywords match popular searches but there is actually no content or blog post, just a title..This SEO strategy somehow can get you top ranked on Google these days. Yeah RIP Google.
