      It’s something we all must do to make a nice, visited websites. It’s also something that spammers got so good that literally everything you search is basically ¾ ads at this point.

      Whenever you try to get an answer to something like “What movie was the Be Like Water line from” and you can NOT find anything other than a bunch of articles with tons of paragraphs wasting your time - that’s the SEO spam tactics. Those articles chose words that made themselves easier to be indexed by Google, but don’t actually want to answer that question.

      And yes. I literally looked this up this week.

      I still don’t fucking know if it came from Enter the Dragon or some other short series. I just gave up. Google has enshitified news articles on the internet and has to seriously consider retraining their algorithm to negatively impact shit like that.
