There is no way that Google canceled this because people would lose jobs. They found it was not worth their time, or they would not make enough money. There’s nothing good about Google.

In addition, Googles search results have gone to shit. You used to be able to find what you needed (without drilling down with specific keywords) near the top of the first page. Now you usually have to go through a few pages to find anything close to what you want. You can thank the seo bullshit for this. So many shit filled articles now mostly written by "AI" clutter up the search results.

Basically these people apparently weren't doing a good job as it is.

Kinda worries me when there's a typo in the headline of a tech article.

It’s not the AI trying to blend in.

Trust me, fellow human.

The most obvious reason for this is that whatever they were doing doesn't seem to help a lot.
