And this just guarantees that no-one will be able to trust the results.
Google just destroyed their Search market. 🤦

@BillySmith@social.coop @colinmford@typo.social We may need to reinvent the search engine, curated lists and webrings. Google’s secret sauce once was page ranking by links pointing to a site, maybe we need something like page ranking by cryptographic chains of human trust. A good result is a result with a source that has a chain of human trust back to me and no ads. For a start: “we count the number of uBO blocked requests on the page, and if too many (threshold is set to 5), we kick it out” https://teclis.com

@BillySmith@social.coop @colinmford@typo.social It sounds like they are also destroying their ad market, since no one will have a reason to buy ads if there are n links to click through.
