Since the internet is now slop, ive been doing this with almost any search, and its sooooo good. Kagi is better, but this is free. I was getting so pissed off with how slopified search has become for everything.

The slop is real and, frankly, hard to read and at the same time a very convenient format for an article. I wouldn’t go that far as outright rejecting them, as it’s like shooting the messenger. I care more about the message. In practice, I have the reflexive urge to scroll to the Conclusion portion to check if the “slop” resource is worth reading. Don’t have the time to read the entirety of all articles.

Only downside is remembering to change my search setting every time !

My default search engine is a Searx instance with specific settings. It’s a pain to configure, so that gets saved as a bookmark.

If you’re open to a perspective change (similar to the patientgamers community), act as if mainstream digital content does not exist.

If you really want to be safe AND upload it in MEGA, consider only making the links accessible to you and you alone i.e. your personal use.

If you are confident that they’re lost media, maybe they can go to archive.org.

imo, it’s ragebait. Negative posts + a desire of the target audience to be validated = Engagement = More revenue

Does it’s mean it’s wholly false? Probably not. More likely, there’s a measure of truth, even a small amount of it. The rest could be emphasized or exaggerated to hit that engagement.

I try to identify the most unusual thing I encountered every day, then I take a two second video of the moment.

Yes, indeed. Thanks for clarifying.

I don’t know the details, but in principle, the zip compression process tries to identify the textual commonalities between the pages. The more commonalities the 10 pages have, the smaller the zip file will be.

If each page is textually very different, (example, Page 1 is “AB” , Page 2 is “CD”, etc.), it’s possible that the zip file will be larger. It’s because it will contain the full contents of each page, plus the metadata of the zip file.

Anyone more knowledgeable can correct me on this.

Don’t know if I can take it sitting down.

Google frequently stops working as an engine

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

1. Seeking to understand others before being understood. As long as a (generous) standard of good faith is met, I meet others’ thoughts and views with curiosity. I do not have to agree with them.
2. Realize that no matter how hard I try, a lot of things are outside of my control to change. The change you desire could take a long time and no shortcuts are feasible. You can stick to your principles and at the same time recognize that there is only so much you can influence.

If the high seas dries up, are we up shit creek and have to stream?

Yes

No

No

Could we see clickbait as a necessary evil?

Yes, in satire maybe

I have the “URL to restore your preferences in another browser” bookmarked for easy access. I wish Firefox can handle that when adding a custom search engine, but this is good enough.

Mullvad’s search engine ( leta(dot)mullvad(dot) net ).

Some Searx engines have mullvad’s search engine as an available source.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: My somatic reaction tells me to fear the accusation. But I choose not to. My brain tells me I shouldn’t be. One - AI or not, em dashes are very helpful in comprehension. Two - why should I change myself just for internet points? Should I purposefully worsen my grammar to satisfy the anti-AI reader?
