Google News is indexing and promoting websites that immediately rip off others with AI clones of their articles. These websites are absolutely littered with Google ads. (mastodon.social)

The proverbial cat of SEO has long gotten out of the bag. Google isn't actively choosing one site over another so much as being "victims" of their own derived search engine heuristics.

I very much think a lot of work needs to be put in to resolve this. But I don't really think having one of the biggest companies on the planet be the gate keeper of what news you do and don't get to see would.
