     @mainec @gamingonlinux Google loves SEO spam for some reason. No way it could be cos it has Google ads all over it... 🤔

     @dalias @gamingonlinux what surprises me though is that this SEO approach wasn't spotted automatically and the effect throttled.

     @dalias @gamingonlinux likely that's just the tip of the iceberg.

     Back when everyone was impressed about Google's reaction to ChatGPT and taking that as a sign that Google feared a competitor coming up with a better interface to search I kept wondering why nobody saw the much more immediate thread of LLMs used for SEO...

     @gamingonlinux Seems like a confession to commercial fraud.

     @gamingonlinux What? First of all they did such a anti-competitive move and then are bragging about it on Twitter/X/that deadbird site which should have died

     @mischievoustomato @gamingonlinux As part of a business?
     Because what he did is piracy and likely counterfeit, and publishing means of knowing how much was gained from it all.

     @gamingonlinux I disagree. They're making it better by exploiting this. It is the beginning of the end for ad-supported search engines.
