Part of the problem IMO is that some people have started using AI chatbots in lieu of search engines - even for simple questions that are a search away. There needs to be 1) some regulation regarding that and 2) some optimisation of the AI chatbots themselves to take shortcuts for readily available answers, because the energy waste seems ridiculous.

    Honestly I'm one of those people. If what I want to look up isn't something terribly important, just a random curiosity that's irrelevant to most things, I'll most likely ask an AI. SEO has just gotten so bad that I don't want to spend the time looking through the answers to find what I want.

    It's still not too late to learn to search efficiently. It's true that SEO has gotten to shit and that there are so many filler pages that say nothing, but still, most of the time when I search, I get an answer either right from the headline or within the first one or two pages that I click on.
