SEO started killing the internet long before the genAI wave yeah. I was also always a bit mad at the concept in general. Surely search engine optimization is something for… search engines, not websites? I hate that we ended up changing the way we create websites in order to appease The Machine, instead of it getting better at surfacing quality content

In theory, Google should fight all attempts at SEO.
But they infamously stopped doing that to bump some quarterly result (as sifting through them generates more clicks), and here we are.
