Google Cuts Thousands of Workers Improving Search After Search Results Scientifically Shown to Suck::“These workers provide critical support that keeps Google’s flagship Search results and Bard AI safe and functional for the company’s billions of users,” the union representing the contractors said.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I’m surprised Google was still using raters. I used to be one through a third party over a decade ago. The pay was okay but it was a 1099 so taxes were a mess. Ended up getting “fired” for reasons I didn’t understand, as there wasn’t much transparency in the process.
Search doesn’t suck because people aren’t working to make it better.
Search was working great for years. Search sucks because they are fucking it with SEO and ads, and they like it that way because they make more money.
So whoever they are firing for whatever reason has nothing to do with their shitty search.
Glad to see Google sticking its slogan of “Do Much Evil”.
