Most people […] write […] comments […] and hope AI picks them up
Really quite sad if there’s even one person out there doing that.
This is also as much of a grift as any SEO that claims to have cracked the code of getting to the top of results. Even if they have figured something reproducible, it will get fixed. If someone can manipulate a search engine to provide results different to what it would otherwise do, that’s a bug they will fix

But there are more people manipulating the results, than people fixing the bugs.

But not in novel ways. Lots of exploiters using the same bug. Fix it once and they’re all fixed.
