Use a search engine that doesn't fuck up your results instead of trying to unfuck the results it gives you. Why go through this much effort to still give your money to google?
Isn't this Google's job? Are developers a small but lucrative target and so the suits at Google don't see the benefit of improving that experience by cleaning up the spam? Can we just nudge them to do so under the threat of an influential minority leaving due to their use case being affected?
> Isn't this Google's job? Have you searched anything on Google lately? The answer is "no". Their new job seems to be to stuff your results with anything even remotely related (and sometimes related in a way that only machine learning can see) so you have things to click on. Edit: with the lone exception of "find me this bussiness nearby".

Is there a word for this tendency to say, "it's someone else's job" as a justification for doing nothing at all to help or improve one's own circumstances? I see more and more of it in the public discourse over the last years and it kind of bothers me. I see it a lot in conversations related to poverty or climate change, but it is as we see here by no means exclusive to those topics. To the original replyer: you coul…
At the risk of sounding pretentious, I call it "socialist", since they spend their lives telling others what to do or what is good or not for the rest of us but they rarely do anything about it. Surprisingly, this is the group that is really worried about poverty and climate change and do as much as I do for it, with the difference that I do it by myself, the few times I do it, not requiring the rest to do it.
It is always someone else who will do it. Though the other day I had a conversation with a non-socialist person that had that same attitude ("other should do it") towards what OTHERS should do. I really dislike that attitude, no matter where it comes from.
Point at hand: when I want or promote something, I am the first one to do it no matter others do it or not. The rest, no matter the ideology, all b*llshit.
As imperfect as I am, I try to do what I think is good (and sometimes my imperfection prevents me from doing it) but I do not spend my life telling other people why they are worse than me and telling them what they should do or not. The most I have for someone is good suggestions, never requirements.
