Hot take : If you can’t laugh at yourself, you’re living life completely wrong.

PSA: if google sucks these days, don’t forget that the rival nation states don’t follow the same Capitalist/Orwellian arc. Similar, sure, but slightly different arcs.
Anyways.. Yandex (russias google equivalent) still returns search results like Google pre-2024.
My guess is the content was designed to game google’s SEO and keyword/adword/adsense algorithms, rather than the other search engines (read: ad networks).
I don't expect this advice to be relevant for very long, so get it while it’s ~~hot~~ luke warm.
(Note: at the time of writing this my text rendering is bonked. Anything with ~~ is intended to have a line crossing it out.)
