It\u2019s an endless loop that we are all trapped in, and it\u2019s cluttering up the Internet with junk content and burying the good ones. Search is suffering as a result.</p><p><strong>Sullivan </strong>is saying that Google search is better than ever, and it says that it is ironic that The Verge is saying what they are saying about SEO and Google when they themselves are using SEO tactics. He is also saying that he and his team are working hard to improve search all the time and put in a lot of work to communicate with the community to improve it.</p><p><strong>HackerNews </strong>folks, who are mostly IT professionals: Some agree with The Verge, some call Sullivan a corporate shill who has betrayed his journalism roots, others are SEO professionals who says that The Verge  don\u2019t know what the hell they\u2019re talking about and are being sensationalist.</p><p><strong>My thoughts about the coverage</strong></p><p><strong>Note</strong>: I work in tech, but I\u2019m not <em>techy.</em> I\u2019m not a software engineer though I do dabble in coding. I exist in this weird zone between the user and the engineer, which is why I love being a technical writer. I\u2019m the bridge between the user and the software engineer and as such, I can see both sides.</p><p>So, I\u2019m writing from that perspective. Here are my thoughts about the whole thing.</p><ul><li>When you\u2019re working for a corporation, especially in tech, you tend to exist in this place where you\u2019re trying to help the ordinary person, but you still have to make your company that gives you your paycheck your priority. Not everyone can manage this balancing act, and there\u2019s a reason why some journalists can\u2019t fully transition to being a corporate worker and return to journalism. The ideals that drove them to journalism has to be smothered in corporate settings as there\u2019s no room to be idealistic in shark-like corporate environments. If you don\u2019t adapt, you\u2019re <em>out</em>. Danny Sullivan gives me the impression that he has not only adapted, but is a loyal corporate man. As such, Google\u2019s priorities are his priorities.</li><li>That said, I found The Verge\u2019s use of emotive language to describe Sullivan disturbing. As a former journalist myself, I better back up my statements with solid proof and receipts if I describe someone the way they did. Perhaps they do have receipts, but I\u2019m not sure if talking about a man\u2019s personality that way helps their cause because we simply don\u2019t know him, even if The Verge folks claim they do. These are all assumptions, not facts, and betrays their bias. </li><li>That said, this is an article about the SEO business culture, so perhaps it was the right thing to do to portray the dynamics between the SEO pros and the man responsible for all the dancing they have to do.</li><li>I call The Verge entertainment journalism. It\u2019s a gossip rag for those who are <em>American, </em>upper middle class and dwell in the IT bubble of Sillicon Valley. It doesn\u2019t speak to ordinary schmos like me who are not American, not upper middle class, and whose lives are controlled by tech in ways they don\u2019t experience. </li><li>American tech journalism: Tone wise, I\u2019ve often found them a little too sure of themselves and arrogant in that Sillicon Valley Bubble libertarian way. Tech journalism\u2019s coverage of Mastodon has been particularly eye rolling because they didn\u2019t bother to come down to the level of an ordinary user to find out what it\u2019s like for them. I still remember one tech journalist claiming that it was <em>the journalists</em> who makes Mastodon more vibrant. Big headed, much? Hey, I was a journalist but even I don\u2019t think we\u2019re <em>that </em>important. Their coverage betrayed their insularity; they literally need to get out of San Francisco more.</li></ul><p><strong>Is the Internet sucky? As a writer and a user, hell yes</strong></p><p>I don\u2019t know any class of user more abused by SEO and Google search than the writer. Whether they\u2019re working for their bread butter or are just writing for fun, writers have to write the way Google wants them to just to get seen.</p><p>I wrote extensively about this in <em><a href=\"https://elizabethtai.com/blog/google-helpful-content-update/\">Google\u2019s Helpful Content Update isn\u2019t kind to nicheless\u00a0blogs</a> </em>and <em><a href=\"https://elizabethtai.substack.com/p/how-im-healing-from-algorithms\">How I\u2019m Healing from Algorithms </a></em>where I said: \u201cAlgorithms are forcing us to create art that fits into a neat little box \u2014 <em>their</em> neat little box.\u201d</p><p>So, despite Sullivan\u2019s claims to the contrary, the Internet has sucked for me in the last 10 years. Not only because I was forced to create content in a way that pleases their many rules, but because I have to compete with SEO-optimized garbage fuelled by people with deep pockets and desires for deep pockets.  </p><p>However, this year, I regained more joy as a writer when I gave upon SEO and decided to become <a href=\"https://elizabethtai.com/2023/07/06/being-an-imperfect-gardener-of-my-digital-garden/\">an imperfect gardener of my digital\u00a0garden</a>. So there\u2019s hope for us yet.</p><p>Despite all this, I\u2019m not surprised with Sullivan\u2019s claims that Google search has improved. From his perspective, it totally has because the users he\u2019s aiming for are not ordinary people like you and me but corporations. For corporations and businesses, it has been great, though with the rise of AI content, that enthusiasm may be dented somewhat since they have to shell out even more money to get their page rankings.</p><p>So, even if The Verge was being super sensational about the issue, I have to agree with them. The Internet hasn\u2019t been a pleasant place for people like me, a writer for a long time. The fact that we are the prime generator of content for the Internet is ironic. There won\u2019t be the Internet without us.</p><p>However, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s right to say that Google search <em>completely sucks</em>. A lot of things we search for now, we take for granted. For example, searching for the nearest cafe that is open right now, getting directions to an unfamiliar place. As the Yellow Pages, Google is <em>great. </em>I often jump off Duck Duck Go if I want to find more information about those topics because Google is still superior.</p><p>But it has been difficult to find <em>authentic </em>content. You know, content about the human experience, written by humans with actual experience. As a result, I append \u201cReddit\u201d to everything I search for these days. Sometimes I give up entirely and just wander through the maze of forums to find the answer. </p><p>Finding personal blogs is nigh impossible now, which is why I said in my article. <a href=\"https://elizabethtai.com/blog/google-helpful-content-update/\">Google\u2019s Helpful Content Update isn\u2019t kind to nicheless\u00a0blogs</a>, \u201c\u2026the world wide web no longer belongs to the common people; has not for a long while. This update only strengthens the grip corporations and influencers have on content online.\u201d</p><p>Still, as much as I agree with The Verge\u2019s conclusions, I feel that pointing fingers is useless. The bigger question is, <strong>How do we fix the Internet for the ordinary person?</strong></p><p>The big wigs don\u2019t seem to want to answer that question thoroughly, perhaps because there\u2019s no big money in this, so people have been trying to find solutions on their own.</p><p>We have the <a href=\"https://elizabethtai.com/2023/07/03/how-i-am-blogging-the-indieweb-way/\">Indieweb movement</a>, the Fediverse like <a href=\"https://elizabethtai.com/2023/02/17/mastodon-trolls-and-filters/\">Mastodon</a> and Substack rising to fill the gap.
