Altman's Law: 99% of all content is slop

I can get behind this. This assumes a tool will need to be made to help determine the 1% that isn't slop. At which point I assume we will have reinvented web search once more.

Has anyone looked at reviving PageRank?

I mean Kagi is probably the PageRank revival we are talking about.

I have heard from people here that Kagi can help remove slop from searches so I guess yeah.

Although I guess I am DDG user and I love using DDG as well because its free as well but I can see how for some price can be a non issue and they might like kagi more.

So Kagi / DDG (Duckduckgo) yeah.

I’ve been a Kagi subscriber for a while now. Recently picked up ChatGPT Business and now am considering dropping Kagi since I am only using it for trivial searches. Every comparison I’ve done with deep searches by hand and with AI ended up with the same results in far less time using AI.

Does anyone have kept an eye of who uses what back-end?

DDG used to be meta-search on top of Yahoo, which doesn't exist anymore. What do Gabriel and co-workers use now?

I think they all use Bing now.

Kagi is mostly stealing results from Google and disenshittifying them but mixes in other engines like Yandex and Mojeek and Bing.

DDG is Bing.

For images surely this is the next pivot for hot dog / not hot dog.
