I haven't played assassins creed odessey in quite a while and I googled how to get olive wood in the game quickly.

The first 3 sites were filled with garbage AI generated tips. Like it looked passable at first glance but only 1 of the 5 tips were even possible. They suggested I use an axe to cut down trees which isn't possible in the game at all. There was also a lot of repeating of the search phrase.

This is why I'm upset when I see everyone talking about leaving reddit and deleting their history.

I don't even search for things without "reddit" in the search terms because literally every site is garbage now and everything that shows up in the first page or two of Google is just SEO boosted garbage.
