I spent more time trying to evade SEOs than actually looking up what I needed to know.

learned how to find things the right way. Soon SEO began to hijack the keywords. And now, for years, it‘s been an ongoing battle between getting the actual results I need and these optimizations from hollow articles catching up.

It‘s a shame. 
Being forced to return to niche and closed off communities to get real exchanges. I'm not too fond of the thought that some information won‘t be available or seen by everyone looking for it.

The search engine is broken and the keywords are sold to the highest bidder. 

You’re not getting the best product/services, you’re getting the mediocre ones sold by the incumbents vs better products by the new entrants.
