The People Who Ruined the Internet

I miss the days of "site:", "intitle:", etc.

I'm thinking when our carefully curated prompts, chain-of-thoughts, and what else will stop working on ChatGPT because they optimized it for the technically uneducated users.

We'll meet here again. Missing the days of "Let's think step-by-step". Ah, this one in particular seems to be already over!

Those still work, don't they? I use site: all the time.

Yeah, "site:" still works. I use "site:reddit.com/r/edh $cardname" any time I want to research Magic the Gathering combos. It also works far better than the same search string in DDG/Brave/Bing.

There should be an inverse, "nosite:" selector, to avoid results from a site.

You can use -site: to negate it. Pretty neat

Yep, negation does work. Do -site: rather than site:
