Comment on Part of why internet search sucks is that many gave up trying in the face of Google.
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 9 months agoYes! Thanks for reminding me. Some pages would just have a dictionary of popular words in their Metadata so if you were searching for N*Sync (shut up, it was the 90s!) you’d have to scroll through a bunch of unrelated garbage before you found anything related to what you wanted.
You might as well be out of business if you’re result comes up on the second page of Google. :)
Some comedian said that in a comedic way IIRC. It kind of stuck with me and definately holds some truth. No one clicks on the second page unless they are desperate.

One only has to remember all the ‘keywords’ under a youtube video back in the day, it was a nightmare to whittle things down ti what you wanted

If we’re talking “back in the day” you had to remember WHICH website you found the video on, because everyone self published, or chose a site to submit their content to.
