This is pre “ai” as it’s now being sold. Machine written websites written to hit search results, an enshitification I noticed particularly around 2021, becoming ubiquitous.

You nailed the trajectory of these now worthless articles though, and quick answers are now removed off of the search page, AI summaries only providing them, to force us to use it unless we want to wade through machine written garbage articles.

I refuse to use ai like that, they can eat dick (more of it.)
