Disgruntled foodies were ticked off that their favorite restaurants were over run with tourists. So they turned to social media and banded together in forum posts to give rosey reviews to nearby restaurants. Mediocre restaurants nearby their favorite ones, were over run with glowing 5 star reviews.
Google’s advertising bloats SERP’s, have caused users to ramp up their complaints against Google search in recent years. Especially since the arrival of AI slop search that nobody asked for.
Apparently sick of influencers and tourists who have made their local hideaways uninhabitable, a number of Londoners appear to be attempting to poison Google’s AI-generated search results in an effort to point urban visitors in the wrong direction.
