    SEO started killing the internet long before the genAI wave yeah. I was also always a bit mad at the concept in general. Surely search engine optimization is something for… search engines, not websites? I hate that we ended up changing the way we create websites in order to appease The Machine, instead of it getting better at surfacing quality content
