My point was that as a newcomer in either operating systems (Linux late last century) or a new search engine (Marginalia, Kagi) you cannot always win by repeating the same stuff incumbents do.

Especially not when the incumbents are busy digging deeper holes.

It's not perfect, but it's scary how well it works sometimes.
