Why do the article sites even exist anymore? Check out this link.

This is clearly a slop article. DDG results are chock full of this exact cookie cutter slop. Clearly if all I'm gonna find in search engines anymore is slop, I might as well just go straight to the source, right? How is this business model viable anymore?

The search results only have slop articles because it's increasingly difficult to find anything else. I heard that recent estimates are indicating about 50% of the content of the internet is already AI generated, and it's only going to get worse, and it's going to keep getting worse very rapidly. "Search" in the way we understand it is obsolete. I don't know what the future of content discovery for real humans is going to look like, but I'm confident it's not going to look anything like search. That's broken and it's never coming back.
