I get so tired out by the constant filler in written and video articles of education. At the same time, the internet is becoming harder and harder to search for specific bits of information in lists, encyclopedias or other easily referenced and digestible formats.
Earlier today I was trying to find a list of all Alfa Romeo models to identify a car, and all the top results were ten paragraphs of SEO infused filler bullshit, with some smattering of half or less of the cars. Genuine enthusiasts get crushed under the weight of mighty marketing budgets seeking a pittance of adsense dollars.
Which is what I ended up using then googling each model to find images. Years ago I would expect Google to find a great array of enthusiast blogs that might have them properly catalogued, but nowadays it's mostly content marketing articles. Stuff like this: https://www.motortrend.com/features-collections/most-beautif...
It's an op-ed designed to get clicks and turn ad dollars, in a format that extracts even more clicks once you arrive. That's what's frustrating, all the genuine information is being replaced with content marketing apparatuses. That's not really Google's fault intentionally, it's just how the ecosystem has evolved.
