alt Hacker NewsGoogle search results have gone shit. I am facing some deindexing issues where Google is citing a content duplicate and picking a canonical URL itself, despite no similar content.
Just the open is similar, but the intent is totally different, and so is the focus keyword.
Not facing this issue in Bing and other search engines.

I've also noticed Google having indexing issues over the past ~year:
Some popular models on Hugging Face never appear in the results, but the sub-pages (discussion, files, quants, etc.) do.
Some Reddit pages show up only in their auto-translated form, and in a language Google has no reason to think I speak. (Maybe there's some deduplication to keep machine translations out of the results, but it's misfiring and discarding the original instead?)
Amazong, Google is the same. Fake products, fake results, scammers left and right.
