The Decline of Search Engines is an Opportunity
The Decline of Search Engines is an Opportunity
搜索引擎的衰落是一个机遇
9 Jun 2026 2026年6月9日
The degradation of search engine capability is fairly undeniable at this point. Google has been unusable for years, DuckDuckGo/Bing is steadily getting worse, and while Yandex is looking more impressive by comparison, it’s still a few steps behind the old state of the art. 目前，搜索引擎能力的退化已是不争的事实。Google 多年来已变得难以使用，DuckDuckGo 和 Bing 也在持续恶化；虽然 Yandex 相比之下表现尚可，但距离曾经的顶尖水平仍有差距。
And youtube… oh my god youtube. At this point I instinctively avoid searching youtube at all - the visceral disgust I experience upon seeing the countless of variations of the same empty face staring out at me against the same manicured titlecards, as if everyone is following the same “How To Drive Engagement With Your Videos” instruction guide (which they almost certainly are) is probably best shared with a mental health professional (note to self: does my profile picture trigger the same in others?). 还有 YouTube……天哪，YouTube。现在我本能地避免在 YouTube 上进行搜索——当我看到无数张表情空洞的脸，配上千篇一律的精致封面图时，那种生理性的厌恶感油然而生。仿佛每个人都在遵循同一份“如何提升视频互动率”的指南（他们几乎肯定是的），这种感觉或许最好还是去咨询心理医生（自我提醒：我的头像会不会也让别人产生同样的感觉？）。
So, what is a long time netizen of the Information Super Highway to do? Kagi is often recommended but AFAICT relies on the 3 providers mentioned above. LLMs can search for me, but a non-deterministic summary built on search results which are often themselves slop is just a Mad Cow Disease for the Mind. 那么，作为“信息高速公路”上的老网民，我们该怎么办？Kagi 常被推荐，但据我所知，它依然依赖上述三家搜索引擎。大语言模型（LLMs）可以代我搜索，但基于那些本身就是垃圾信息的搜索结果所生成的非确定性摘要，简直就是思维的“疯牛病”。
No, if we want to solve this, we need to think outside the textbox. Hyperlinks. The answer is hyperlinks. In my early days of the web I was constantly finding cool sites by clicking on the ubiquitous “links” page other cool sites always had. Sometimes they were irrelevant, sometimes they were dead, but sometimes they really hit the mark and I found stuff I still remember to this day. 不，如果我们想解决这个问题，就必须跳出搜索框的思维定式。超链接。答案就是超链接。在我刚接触互联网的那些年里，我总是通过点击其他酷站中随处可见的“链接”页面来发现新大陆。有时这些链接无关紧要，有时已经失效，但偶尔它们真的能击中要害，让我发现至今仍记忆犹新的内容。
We’re constantly bemoaning the centralized web. But are we not Web Masters? Can we not simply link to the websites we enjoy? Every search engine turning to shit is an incredible opportunity if you look at it right. So with that I introduce my links page. 我们一直在抱怨互联网的中心化。但我们自己不就是“网站管理员”吗？我们难道不能直接链接到我们喜欢的网站吗？如果换个角度看，每一个搜索引擎的堕落其实都是一个绝佳的机遇。因此，我在此隆重推出我 链接页面。
This is not a “web ring”, I’m not “following you back”. It’s just stuff I like. I don’t expect any of these sites to link back to me. And if you decide to link to me, please don’t expect me to link back either. But nonetheless, link! Link to whatever you want! Make your own link page yours. Take back the World Wide Web, one hyperlink at a time. 这不是什么“网络环（web ring）”，我也不会搞“互粉”。这仅仅是我喜欢的东西。我不指望这些网站回链给我。如果你决定链接到我，也请不要指望我回链。但无论如何，去链接吧！链接任何你想链接的内容！打造属于你自己的链接页面。让我们通过每一个超链接，夺回属于我们的万维网。
