It's been hard to find good websites in top results of search engines. A lot of them are very well SEO tuned AI slop.
Especially on Duck Duck Go. Ugh. It's so bad sometimes. You search for a topic and the first page is all blog style websites with rambling, garbage A.I. text.
I really need to switch to Kagi, but it's American so I don't want to give them money.
Mojeek and Ecosia are building their own index, and then you don't need to subscribe to a service that's all-in on AI
Every time I try mojeek it's the worse experience ever. Ask Jeeves was more reliable.
Never heard of exosia tho have to try it.
I'm not really against AI, but AI does change the reality of using the internet. I need to be able to promote trustworthy domains in my search results and accumulate such a list over years.
Brave search technically has such a feature, but firstly the owner is a homophobe, and secondly the feature isn't really as power-user oriented as I'd like.
