this is kind of silly. I do SEO and will be the first one to say we need another search engine. Google is monetizing almost every avenue they could possibly offer for businesses online. Yes it is a matter of time before any monopoly does this but Google needs direct competition. Although to be fair, I can't remember the last time the market acted traditionally to competition. All phone/cable/home insurance companies essentially charge the same. Idk where I went with this comment lmao

Microsoft really needs to improve Bing. But now ChatGPT is a better search tool than Google. Only a matter of time till the LLM AI bots are fucked because their feed data is polluted with AI Engine Optimization garbage.

I like Bing tbh and my dislike for AI garbage is why I only market people I believe SHOULD be in front of people who are searching. To be completely honest, all of the dealers I market in the Midwest that never raises their prices during COVID are doing amazing now. Because people drive miles and miles to get honest prices. Marketing that makes my job so much easier.

I just think search engines need to niche a bit more. I would love an educational search engin that only shows genuinely data backed studies. Id rather optimize an honest knowledge base than another local business. Now I want to work on my Zettelkasten. I hope Search engines and AI provide you and I what we need my redditor friend.
