    do you think this is because 1. Google is actively getting worse at its job in absolute terms 2. SEO is getting better at throwing chaff and its not possible to do as well in a hostile adaptive info environemnt 3. Harder because of scale issues 4. Other?https://twitter.com/williamrblack/status/1429962733055881218 …

    Something I don't think millennial teachers fully appreciate about GenZ is that googling has gotten a lot harder in the last decade

        1/x Google today seems to be more optimized for common general queries rather than specific queries. I'm guessing that's what drives metric wins.

        Clear case of (1). Google's other services have all also gotten worse at a similar rate, and they don't suffer from (2) and often don't from (3) either.

        I think it's all of the above, but also 4. Google redefining what their job is and maybe they are quite good at that job.

        I kind of have the sense that google's incentives are no longer really to be "good" at search as we would like it
