This makes me irrationally angry when I'm looking for technical information. The preview looks reasonable. Click on the link, and it's just word salad of technical terms, structured in an intelligent way, but completely devoid of meaning.

Search engines are screwed, and possibly future AI training as well.

Yeah, websites designed as Q&As are the worst, too.

The first few questions and answers make some sense, and then it just devolves into off topic nonsense that has some keywords you were originally using in your search.

The problem is, if you don't know enough about a topic, you can't even assess whether it's real or crap.
