I dunno. I have a blog with niche info, but it doesn't even show up before page 10 or whatever. But technically, it's still indexed...

Search engines lost. With ChatGPT it's about to get 10x worse.

We could switch back to manual human-curated web directories, or website link lists.

It’s hard to find old things too that are still there, for queries that used to work just fine.
