The authors site (https://www.goodcheapandfast.com/) is really annoying BECAUSE of the SEO content, there’s like a page of pointless text about each category and then each product has a bunch of text about it which is totally useless.

Is this really the best way that google can distinguish good from bad content? IMO google results are starting to become stale and it makes the internet feel a lot smaller, this is probably why. I know there are tonnes of far more interesting things out there but they seem to come up less and less now.
