       @MyWoolyMastadon @futurebird @seawall I feel like at some point I need to do a longer post about pitfalls like this, but IMO searching for "questions" has always been bad for reasons besides SEO spam.To put it bluntly, people who know their stuff almost never present information in that manner, so whenever you "ask" a search engine a question you're almost always leaning on whatever semantic behaviors that search engines is doing to dissect that question.

       @futurebird @MyWoolyMastadon @seawall To be clear, I don't mean to discount the impact of LLM generated SEO spam, as that has definitely made things much worse.I'm more trying to point out that human written BS also has that same "shape" that also makes searching for questions hazardous.That said, admittedly I genuinely disagree that search engines should be able to parse questions due to all the problems that behavior leads to, but that's it's own whole can of worms.
