Comment on Scientists show how ‘doing your own research’ leads to believing conspiracies — This effect arises because of the quality of information churned out by Google’s search engine

SEO and Ai have been very heavy influincers in the degradation of journalistic integrity and reporting facts without dumbing things down for clicks.

It led directly to a more radicalized and less informed public.

The vast majority of people think that the first answer on Google is still correct. That simply isn’t true anymore because people started to game the system and Google let them do it to gain a shitloat of ad money.

It’s disgusting that they don’t have the morals to rein things in.
