I've never quite understood the w3schools hate. It can be quite useful. My most used page is this one when I need to jog my memory: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.php It's much better than this one: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_selecto... Or any of the other results on the first page

I wonder if they are interested in attracting users with more diverse searching requirements, and if so, how they would be able to actually reach them.

It often outranks MDN official docs which these days are very readable, in-depth, with examples, and a simple UI and the only time I click to inappropriately named W3Schools is by accident because it's the top result and I'm expecting MDN and then I click back and that's why I don't like it.

This site [0] used to be the hub for the hate and now has a message saying that w3schools has gotten better. If you're curious, they still have a link to the web archive that has all the mistakes documented.
The most egregious of their mistakes to me:
> […] professional web developers often prefer HTML editors like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, instead of writing plain text.
Looks like the summary here is “f** Pinterest”. Soooo many stack overflow scraper sites too god I hate those.
As far as I know, this is more a failure of Google's inexplicable algorithm than Pinterest doing anything specifically bad.

It's incredibly annoying to be searching for a thing, and get a result from Pinterest that's just a bookmark of that thing. As far as I know, this is more a failure of Google's inexplicable algorithm than Pinterest doing anything specifically bad.
It is a true shame that so much useful information gets trapped within their ecosystem.
