Preface, I’m fucking sick of this shit like we all are.
At work today trying to get information and datasheets for a product. The mfgs website, like SO many, now has been redone (no doubt with vibe coded slop) and is utter dog shit. you can’t find information about the companies own product on their own fucking site. The search won’t find products. Product pages dont even have images for fucks sake. Like how has website design gotten this bad?!?
When I told my rep they need to at least let someone know how shit their site is, they said to use “the google ai because it works better anyway and its what we use”. JFC so this is what we do now huh.
I’m fucking done with this.
“Did you just tell me to go fuck myself?”
I sure hope so
So the google ai should be using the current information on their website first so if it isn’t there…
It pulls from 3rd party sited because their main site is garbage now
So the company is at the mercy of anyone who wants to put ip a fake site about their product.
Great plan!
Yes, genius!
Yep. Shit is becoming harder to find. Search engines are crashing into slopfests at unimaginable speed, dozens of the same trash slop written articles, slop bots slopping out new pops you have to dismiss to try to actually find information, every site now has cloudflare or Anubis or some other anti bot protection, some sites are just broken completely, functionality that should be easy and used to work no longer does.
