I don't have an answer. What I can tell you is that it is BAD. I pretty much can't find useful results post 2022/23
I just realized how freaking bad this was - especially on Reddit. I was doing a search for IPTV providers. I checked reddit first, since in the last that has been a reliable way for finding people recommending stuff, not just whatever is search engine optimized.
Holy shit was it bad. Nearly every comment was AI slop. They all followed a very similar structure. Tons and tons of comments like:
We're seriously getting to a point where we won't be able to search for anything due to AI fake results.
Did you find an iptv service? I've been thinkibg about getting one but whenever i look into i just find junk.
Will report back. I used one a couple years ago, but it's since gone out of business. Like I said, yesterday I was having trouble sifting through all the slop to find an actual real answer. I signed up for a free trial of one and will respond if it's any good. I'm not holding my breath through.
