How SEO Ruined the Internet

Google is of course going to return the most popular results to please the largest amount of people.

If you're looking for more technical results, it'll take a more technical approach.

You should learn search operators - https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?hl=en - that allow you to control the results for specific sites or very detailed requests.

Even better, set up a custom search engine - https://support.google.com/customsearch/answer/4513882?hl=en - with 100 of your trusted sites and now you have Google search precisely tuned to your needs.

We should manifest a website that we can both find right now, agree on the search terms and operators used...

... and then meet again, in say, 3 years, where this content is either only findable on tiktokterest or not at all anymore.

Google has not a search problem. It has a chronological and social one.
