RE: The Current State of the Internet | SEO Destroying Content
If your friends are finding these articles and choosing this information to share / debate with you, it suggests that they've also found it because it supports their already held beliefs that crypto is bad.
Yup. They already believe that the whole blockchain tech is a scam. I've literally lost count of the hours I've spent trying to explain this. Now, I guess it's not worth it anymore.
Crap content is kind of easy to spot It's the incorrect facts spit out by content writers with no experience that's worrisome. I know that it's really very hard or moreover impossible to vet everything that goes up on the internet. But the role I feel SEO is playing right now is hurting the whole internet.
That explains a lot. We'll often seek out opinions and views that support our already held beliefs.
So long as we know that what we're reading was written through a certain "lens", then we can interpret it as we wish. Unfortunately, many read and believe without further questioning the author's motives.
If there were no SEO, I don't know what we'd have...?
SEO is needed. But not the way it is right now. Currently, it feels like the big guys have gamed the system.
They always will. They’ll always have the resources to hire the people that ensure they appear at the top. Irrespective of the algorithm or system used or appropriateness of them being there.
