SEO ruined the internet, specifically Google

[@user-dc9zo7ek5j]

I disagree, SEO is helpful for the users, and all optimizations aim to provide the crawler and indexer with a lot more information so that the user can receive the best content they can. I remember a year or two some websites broke the algorhythm with a lot of articles that contained a question + the year + a lot of topics into a single page. If SEO wasn't adjusted, then spammers would take over the first page of the search results. In general if SEO did not exist, you would have either: 1. links between websites or a website with a lot of links based on category, 2. no such centralization at all, just entering by address. Both of these seem inefficient for me.

[@certs743]

@@user-dc9zo7ek5j Not really sure that is true. Now SEO is just up for straight up purchased by the highest bidder and the search engine that shows the results is owned by an effective monopoly. There is a reason why you have to go to the 10th page of results to get anything that isn't a Reddit or Facebook post. Doing actual research on Google was easier in 1998 to get relevant results.

A lot blogs sites were pretty useful back in the day. What really ruined the web was the monetization of blogging as a space and the ever increasing need for people to feel the need to capitalize on their audience obtained through their blogs.

[@klixikix]

Look, mate, creators are entitled to compensation. You could serve ads on your blog, or ask for tips. You think people would tip you for writing creative and engaging articles? It's the same with open source projects. Everyone wants everything for free, and then complains when devs sell out or monetise. It's that kind of messed up attitude that made web 2.0 what it is.

[@tech-bore8839]

@@klixikix "creators are entitled to compensation" Not entirely true. You're comparing apples to oranges. Content creators are NOT the same as an Open-source developer. The "messed up attitude" is people believing they deserve money for simply uploading something to the internet, regardless of quality or value.

[@gusslx]

​@@klixikixthe problem is when profit becomes their priority. Many don't care about their content and shove to your face a "subscribe to my newsletter" pop-up and tons of ads before you even start reading.

@@klixikix "creators are entitled to compensation" lmao no they're not. You are part of the problem for believing this. People will say this and then the most substansial "content" they've "created" are reaction streams or daily 10 minute uploads of them recording themselves giving opinions nobody asked for about some current event or e-celeb drama between literally who 1 and literally who 2. I mean it when I tell these people to "get a real job".

[@klixikix]

@@gusslx Yes, I agree, and unfortunately what rises to the top is usually what can be monetised best. This problem can be solved with paywalls, but as I said - content consumers don't want to pay, so they turn to ad-supported garbage, and the current situation is the result. Just look at how upset some people get at the prospect of having to pay for the content they consume. It really speaks for itself.

"when every site was unique" That's the problem with modern content creation: every genre has been tapped to death. So many gaming channels striving to be the next PewDiePie or Markiplier.

Blogs didnt have to break the web The fact of the matter is Blogs are REALLY efficient for SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and they doubly work for luring people to click on Amazon Referal Links What actually killed the web was the greed of these blog sites trying to make a quick buck, and the centralization of the web, where 90% of every internet action takes place on Facebook, Google or Reddit. The ability to "Surf the web" is impossible these days. You are simply browsing a single website at this point.

[@n8chz]

@@iclonethefirst I dunno I find web hosting to be one of my more satisfying purchases. One of my main regrets is that 20 years ago I thought self hosting was a lot harder and more expensive than it is, or was even then, and so I settled for "free" options such as Geocities and later Wordpress. I'm much more at peace with paying for hosting than I am with paying for DRMed content.

For as much as I dislike the whole "recommendation algorythm" thing I can think of no alternative. Reddit like up/downvotes suck, and some imageboard style system would crumble in a second if faced with the 30 thousand hours of video uploaded to KZbin every day. Not to mention that it sometimes does wonders: I sure as hell didn't know I wanted to watch and rewatch a one and a half hours long video about queues/lines, but KZbin surely did, and I enjoyed the heck outta it; a true timeless masterpiece.

[@LightningMcCream]

The solution is decentralization (No. Not like crypto) Right now, every website is fighting to be "THE CENTER OF THE INTERNET". The idea of the "web-like" internet is dead. Back in the olden days of the internet, if you wanted to talk about Final Fantasy you went to a Final Fantasy Forum. If you wanted to talk about something specific, you went to a page specific for that, and often from that page you would find links to other similarly minded pages. These days, you just flip through reddit or some premade content feed. A Central Repository of all internet information There are no true "Gathering spaces for niches" anymore. Those have been taken up by Subredits, Facebook Groups, and Discord Channels. Not only that, much of the internet is borderline impossible to search through these days. With every Google search result being occupied by some "Search Engine Optimized" (SEO) trash trying to get you to spend money on Amazon referral links The old internet was a web of pages linking to other pages, the modern internet is "Come to my site, stay here, don't you move, don't you FUCKING move". Linking to other sources will often give a warning dissuading you from leaving, the exact opposite of the effect of "the Web" The web-like internet is dead.

[@someone1861]

I like your videos a lot, but this one seems to be a bit of an “old man screams at sky” rant to me. If I understood correctly, your main beefs are: 1. The internet being in chronological order. 2. Centralized platforms becoming the norm rather than personal sites. 3. The lack of customizability. About the first point, the amount of content simply grew. It's easy to maintain a non-chronological blog when you have 50 articles or something, but as you write more and create more, things eventually get out of control. And things need to be organized somehow. You have to choose a way to display information, what goes first and what goes later. And for most cases, a chronological order is good at that. It's a good way for people interested in reading what you post to find new content from you when they visit your profiles, and in life, yesterday goes before today and tomorrow comes after today. I sometimes come across these remaining web1 style websites where content isn't organized chronologically, and I just find it difficult and very disorientating to navigate because I can't find what the author posted recently. About the second point, yeah, it would be wonderful if everyone had their personal website, but many people don't have the technological knowledge to maintain a site. These centralized platforms allowed a huge number of people to join the web and share their thoughts, and this wouldn't have happened otherwise. About the third and last point, many sites from back in the day had terrible design, like blinking lights and background gifs. Designs that, honestly, sometimes even invaded your user experience, like a site automatically starting to play a song or using some flashy lights. Hell, if you really go far enough, you could even consider that “oh, in the good old days, there was no CSS, and the internet should be just command line that people access through curl.” I'm not saying that the modern web with clean white/dark design is perfect or that it wouldn't be nice to have more customization options, but I also think people overestimate the importance of such customizability. If anything, the fact you need to download 20MB of javascript to load twitter or whatever, piss me off an infinite amount of times MORE than the lack of customizability element in itself . It's like those people saying “Well, on Linux I can have a totally unique graphical interface tailored to my needs” and most people are simply fine with the default Windows/Mac/Chrome OS graphical user interface. A lot of things ruined the web, but I don't think any of them is what you mention in this video.

[@brainstormsurge154]

I wouldn't say home pages died with blogs but I get your point. It kind of reminds me of MySpace and that was basically how people made their home pages for a while. But when MySpace died there was nowhere to really migrate your homepage unless you were tech savvy and so home pages died once again.

[@ryanasazaki1291]

To quote from someone I recently heard, KZbin, and the modern internet these days, is just a machine you going to have to keep on feeding it to stay alive and relevant. What's worse is the effects it's done to people, more and more are chasing quantity, over quality, for reasons like clout, and algorithm relevancy. Even to journalism it has affected, title and content has been designed to be over-the-top in the internal A-B testing, to generate higher average interactions.

[@ryanasazaki1291]

But when does adversary effect on consumers, and people, ever stop capitalism anyway? At some point, some will realized that you really can't stay relevant forever, much like once you're dead, unless you've achieved a world-changing event that will alter history forever, most probably won't be remembered for too much generations, let alone society at large. In that case, the recency-bias in the algorithm is only a mere distraction that you can choose to avoid by stop being psychologically-dependent on it. Use it just enough to gain the value out of it, be it educational, or entertainment, but be aware not to get too addicted to it.

[@ayushmanbt]

[@ryanasazaki1291]

I'm glad I came across your channel, always nice to find a good creator amidst the slurry.

[@pavelperina7629]

Interesting topic. I found out that I'm actually quite unhappy about my blog. Once it has like 45 pages that are kind of divided into series (which was not obvious when I started it), it became hard to navigate through pages and topics are intermixed, joined together mostly by tags. But no one can randomly find other topics and it's boring. Hell, I remember time where whole Czech internet had like 3 catalogs and created basically small random wiki with awkward topics such as ... let's say research of interesting chemicals for one reason or another, demo scene and programming. But that changed very rapidly. Some catalogs disappeared, major one turned into news server, mail server and great map server that is and always was above google maps for anything, but shopping and car navigation.

Imagine a world in which recommendation algorithms are decoupled from the companies that store those videos or content, meaning it's more modular and you can choose and swap between open-source recommendation algorithms written by third parties or maybe just some single person in their bedroom. You could even have different algorithms for different purposes working with the same content: one that shows the recent most flashy content, one that shows obscure but 'timeless classic' type content. I guess KZbin is already trying something with the 'New to you' section, but that section is pretty bad imo. This is the type of radical ideas that they won't tell you about!

[@JWStreeter]

Really interesting perspective, but I think it has a lot of credibility. The "feed" style webpages are definitely an artifact of wordpress and blog-styled websites, and there's no real reason this should have become the standard. I think the death of internet message boards/forums was caused social media, however. 15 years ago, if you wanted to read or discuss movies, the best place was the imdb message board, hands down, bar none......reddit and discord cannot even possibly compare, they're an absolute joke, and if anyone thinks they are a subsitute, they're low IQ and incorrect.

to me, not that anyone asked, this sort of individualised internet should return to a mostly niche platform. consider places like tumblr who still keep it alive, while it is certainly watched over outwardly and frequently, those who actually decide to return to that way of living is still a small amount. if you want to go the whole way further and make a neocities now, it has to be traded and shared around, to turn it back into a community. reminds me of an old adage i heard a while back, "it's free to be just someone, but expensive to be yourself."
