A like from Ryan George? Wow wow wow. Wow. I was hoping you would talk about Google's search prediction failures. eg. I looked for "Did Darth Vader kill Batman" and Google suggested "Did Darth Vader kill Batman's parents"

and it absorbes persperation too

If Zoolander taught me anything it's that kids hate our unfair child labor laws. They just want to work.

@@wesleyoldham4222 Google's q&a section is often hilarious as well. Who's asking these questions? Well no one, but Google apparently thinks those are the questions that go with random unrelated answers on webpages.

Not totally true though :D on Reddit people don't always agree but people genuinely discuss why they do and don't like stuff like a particular monitor. It's the perfect balance so you can read through the threads and get a feel for the realistic pros and cons

I’m still using Yahoo too. Even on Google Chrome browser! 😂

Had to be earlier than 2004. The Google engine had over 60 million pages catalogued in 1999 while in their Palo Alto (Altavista) offices. By 2004 they had the beginnings of the Adsense system churning out money. They'd already bought up Blogger. And Yahoo! officially split up with them. Any marketing program only just then getting on the Google train was half a decade behind.

The craziest thing is that even with the ads, Google is still giving the best results. Every time I try to switch, I always go back.

@@mnspstudioful if it had to be then define the last year it *could* have been. I remember 2004 Google being an incredibly useful search engine without the trash. It took many more years for the I.P you refer to to take hold in the way it has.

@@mnspstudioful I guess it was out of date, then, since it was 2004. All I can say is Yahoo was still the go-to search engine in the U.S. at that time.

I wish that there was a toggle for it to assume that I made no mistakes in typing, and another to assume that I put quotes around the whole thing.

...i hear ya. "big butt" does not mean rifle buttstocks for fucks sake. (i can say that, i am european)

I once had a friend in a different city that was trying to find a place to buy something specific but wasn't sure what stores sold it. I tried to search it in the shopping tab of google search but with changing my location to the location of my friend. Turns out you can't do that because no matter how much you try to change or mask your location Google still knows where you are and they just aren't convinced that you actually want search results from a different city

@@FalconFlurry Really? Because Google is regularly convinced I live in all sorts of weird places and I have to tell it “no, I really am trying to check the grocery store hours in *this* city. You know, the one I’ve been in this whole time and asked something about yesterday?” Recently, it’s become convinced I live in rural northern Nevada, for some reason…

Yeah, the searches ignore punctuation so when searching for the documentation for the C++ standard library's "list" object, my search for std::list did _not_produce what I was looking for! Safe search on, people!

yup have to search with quotation marks around every string for it to understand I actually mean it

@@ezet And even then there's a good chance the first results won't actually have that keyword in, because google is, for some reason, looking at an older version of the site.

And then you have to audit the reddit poster to make sure it isn't a shill or a bot... But yeah, I too use reddit in my searches because that seems to be the only way to really find actual people that aren't an obvious advertorial.

Or just any sort of forum tho some I cant get my head around the ui

This being widely known means that strategies days are numbered

And you can't even do the search from within reddit because reddits search is garbage

@@Pihsrosnec 100% lol. It’s actually kind of crazy how ineffective it is compared to doing the Google Reddit trick. As others have said, this strategy’s days are likely numbered now that it’s so well known

I was searching for the best computer monitor in 2022 and a guy in a werewolf mask cut me off in traffic. He's a bad driver, I decided. EDIT: A few people have replied to my comment, so I'll clarify. Yes, I was using Google to search while driving. I figured it would be harder for Google to track my location if I'm always driving over the speed limit. I did scoff at the guy. When I realized he looked like a werewolf, I assumed he must be from London. It gave me closure and allowed me to look down on him because he was not from the same geographical location as me.

Just goes to show how correct this is

Must ave some pretty good SEO going.

Yip yip yip yip yip

He used his broken monitor to read Google results.

Anyone with a car... or a fridge... or a washing machine... or a house knows that noise intimately.

First time?

I heard, Yib yib yib yib yib, and cracked up laughing. 5 seconds in.

That's my go to search technique, and I despise reddit

Also companies probably just put their thing there.

I always do the reddit and Quora thing too, any other recommended popular platforms?

@@randompastahandle If I ran a company, I would have at least 1 full time employee who monitored reddit and Quora to give our products glowing reviews and head off any negative information. They would also have about 50 accounts for each platform so it looked like lots of people agree with them. Edit: Or I could just hire one of the companies that do exactly this.

Yeah Reddit's my go-to as well. I do still have to take info with a grain of salt, check multiple opinions, and cross-reference with other websites.

And then the companies sinking thousands into their ad spend wonder why their aren't selling more monitors so they sink MORE money into more ads and then Google comes up with a new section they can charge to advertise in. It's just ads all the way down.

In fact that is when you get the good search results. I often struggle to find what I want to know then the next day... Loads of great search results. It doesn't take Google a second. It takes a full day.

Well yeah, of course. Its bad enough that trillion dollar corporations know what you want to buy. It would be even worse if they know what you actually paid for.

I love the way Amazon is set up: do you want to add a washing machine to your washing machine? 😂

He's responsible for so many broken legs and sprained ankles, probably.

Wait, does your stuff not go "yip yip yip" when they break and possibly explode like monitors do??

"Why was I programmed to feel _PAIN_ ?"

Well, that seems perfectly realistic to me. People always say stuff like "There's this weird noise" or "my computer/electric drill/dish washer is making funny noises". So, that monitor made a funny noise. Happens all the time.

@@Jimmygarn can't blame him. Most people's "jobs" are just figuring out how to make more money for rich people. We just hope that they give us a small cut.

@@Bluehoshiflower Truth of the matter is, it's effective and we, as consumers, rely on it. Even if we're bothered by it.

The only good thing about SEO is the way Google has been changing their algorithm to penalize ad-riddled websites, keyword stuffing, and other grey hat tactics. At least, in theory. Realistically, they are just making it impossible for people to get revenue without selling their souls to Google.

They trim A LOT. :(

@@MyPotatoAim That's not what I was saying actually. I meant that he works online so he's interacting with Google/youtube/the internet a lot more than average

Dead Internet Theory, lol

The best part of all that is that it is fake. Google literally just spews out a number. Do yourself a favor and google ... let's say "potato chips".. It'll give you about 558.000.000 results in 0.60 seconds. Now if you scroll ALL the way down, and go to the very last page which should be page 25... It will show that it actually only found 249 results and that it took multiple seconds.

@@OphionTheTitan Yeah, that's interesting. Thing is, Google does index pretty much the entire internet, and half a billion results sounds reasonable. Here's my educated guess for roughly what Google does and where those numbers come from (based on one university course about search engines): - Google already has pre-made lists for pages that contain the words 'potato' and 'chips' or synonyms thereof (though in this case it might only be one list for 'potato chips') - The intersection of those lists (the amount of pages in both lists) is the half a billion number - Google then ranks every one of those pages based on the search query - While ranking, it only keeps track of the number of pages it needs (10 for the first results page, 20 for the second, etc.) - Afterwards it sorts the results and shows them to you This all only takes a little more than half a second on the first results page. You know this is true because, with good internet, Google doesn't take multiple seconds to load. On the 25th results page, however, it has to keep track of a lot more pages and sort a lot more, which is why it takes longer (it also just takes longer to load). Beyond that, Google just refuses. It takes them too long and you probably weren't actually interested in the results at that point anyway. So the numbers come from somewhere, and it's still impressive, but they indeed haven't assembled and ordered all half a billion results for you in less than half a second, because you don't actually need half a billion results.

@@OphionTheTitan It will also note that Google only shows the most relevant results and omitted entries very similar to the ones already displayed, with a link to repeat the search with the omitted results, which will actually be the half million results.

@@VulturHS no, in this instance it will be 493 results if you include the omitted search results

@Bolia Fops Did you just copy and paste half a comment to give someone a completely irrelevant reply? Another question: Are you a bot?

@@catbatrat1760 I like that you're at least asking the question. To me, the bots are brutally obvious and I find it weird that other people don't see them the same way.

If you think Google is brutally honest try searching for something like "pizzagate" and see how all the real results are buried under 2 billion pages of propaganda manipulation. Plus this video outlines in another way just how dishonest they are......honest really isn't the word I'd use.

Yeah, something I just noticed is that Google and Amazon talk kind of like characters from Catch-22 - especially Google. It bamboozles with honesty. Catch-22 characters tend to have an extreme case of saying the quiet part out loud. Colonel: "Well Poppinjay, as soon as his trial ends, your trial begins! Got that?" Poppinjay: "Yes sir. What will I be charged with?" Colonel: "What the hell difference does that make!?"

Unlike P*rnHub's personality, straight to your face, am I right?! it's fine, I will go get 20 cancers and get out the gene pool.

Ikr. I caught it in the reddit threads and went back to see if it was mentioned. Also, that information about the pogo stick was correct aswell. He puts alot of effort into these, that goes mostly unnoticed because its so subtle.

WaySus are also same people in the Amazon chair video, I realised.

Amazon does that too. If you search for a specific brand it will give you results for other brands.

😂 Grade A case in point!

the only thing stopping from abondoning search engine altogether is reddit's own search being godawful

Which is funny because the only reason that joke works is that people who use reddit know how awful that search function is and that's why they need to turn to google in the first place.

Hey thanks for ruining the internet

@@DrButthugger don't hate the player, hate the game. In fact, change the game.

Lol fucking same. Sorry everyone else but my only marketable skill is writing, and using SEO is about the only way to get paid to write anymore.

SEO was the death of useful web searches

tbh half of the gags in this series are text based.

And the person that likes the monitor but is complaining that "WaySus proudly uses child labour and advertise that fact for some reason" but the one that doesn't like the monitor says that likes the fact "they provide children with jobs".

A "fun" way to pass the time while dealing with insomnia circa 2004 was after everyone else fell asleep to go on Yahoo Answers and google the answers to people's questions and rack up internet points. Song lyrics were an especially easy to rack up points if people knew even one full line. Now whenever I have a song in my head but can't think of what it is, even using quotes the search results are just whatever song is the most popular/record company pays them the most that has lyrics sort of similar to what I'm searching for 100 times in a row. "Showing results instead for", no bitch algorithm, I used quotes for a reason.

Yeah this is a big pain for me too. I wish there was a "no really, I know what I'm looking for" checkbox but I guess irrelevant results are better for engagement than no results at all.

Wait ..you guys use quotes in your searches? Lmao....I've never in my life thought to do that, and I've never had any issues finding what I'm looking for lol..strange

@@ZacharyShade Exactly! Instead of finding those words, in that order, on a website, it keeps trying to decode the lyrics into something. I searched for song lyrics, put them in with perfect punctuation and never get results. Yet whenever I finally find the song and search its name: right there in the description will be the lyrics exactly as I typed them. Get your shit together Google, you were better than this.

You can still search this way, but they hid the option a bit. To do a search where "all the words in quotation marks MUST be in results" you do the search as normal, then when the results pop up click Tools on the far right and instead of All results select Verbatim.

child labor for computer monitors is tight!

I love how everything reads the way his characters talk. I wish everyone online was actually like that.

Thank you for telling me! The text was so well written like an actual search result I didn't even bother to look for jokes, but they are there for sure. I like that the first reddit result mentions the ads proudly displaying child labor, and the seconds reddit result saying the company gives kids jobs.

This is un-ironically something I need, want to share your findings?

Was recently looking for reviews on a GPU, found 3 vids using Google, 2 of them said "good GPU, you can use it, definitely good bang for your buck" and the last said "this specific GPU is shit, here are some benchmarks to prove it" and lo and behold it was a previous revision of the exact GPU I wanted. Good thing that KZfaq removed likes and dislikes so that I couldn't see that that third video had 400 likes to 1500 dislikes and the comments on it brought up some good points about how the benchmarks were not done properly otherwise I'd have bought that GPU... On an unrelated note, I recommend the "Return KZfaq dislikes" extension to fix greedy and dumb corporate decisions made by out of touch executives.

KZfaq is owned by google and most videos run advertising. But at least those ads tend to be unrelated so the video content isn’t as conflicted

It used to be you could leave a review saying how it's bad. You still can and they won't delete it, but nowadays there's 10k fake ones to drown you out.

@Nine.L I disagree that you agree

Hey there. Got any more room in this boat you got going here?

The trick is to critically analyze posts. One line posts can be ignored, in depth ones are likely more trustworthy. A high end user calling something garbage might mean it's adequate for a budget user, one negative review among hundreds of positive ones is probably a fluke, if two users are arguing over which is best both are probably fine, etc. Of course, to keep things complicated, the exact same product from one year might not be the same quality as the exact same product from another year. Also factor in country of origin, varying manufacturers, quality of subcomponents in given years.... ...At the end of the day, nothing beats a low budget youtuber showing a product on camera. Especially a highly opinionated one that cares more about criticizing brands than marketing them.
