    Cmon. How many people used to say something was not done intentionally, only to be proven wrong again and again. Remember the syphilis experiments on black people that the USA gov secretly did? And that doctors co-operated with? The panama papers? The Phobos Cartel?

    Always assume they are doing it on purpose! At least someone is aware they are sabotaging their search engine, and plans to profit from it.

      Occam’s razor. We know for a fact that websites are are stopping web crawlers to try and prevent the AI which is going to reduce the searchability in the search engine

      We know that there are more websites being created now than in the past every single day

      Combine these two things and it’s going to mean that search engines are less useful

      Conspiracies help no one and they are very very rarely accurate when they are accurate it’s because there is not a single conceivable possible simple solution to the problem

      In this case, there is a simple solution that answers everything. So why there could be and there probably is intelligent design behind why things have gone worse the chances of it being the main reason is zero
