For nutrition, there's a ton of really bad clow quality half true content that ranks really well in Google because people spend time and engage with that content


And it's all garbage whose authors and publishers deserve a special place in hell, for propagating bullshit that's occasionally dangerous to health, often wastes money, and it's a drag when dealing with friends and family members who end up believing it.

Not just in nutrition - in pretty much everything pertaining things common to all humans - health, cooking, childbirth, etc., the search results are dominated by information-free garbage that wastes a lot of time for people seeking information.


I'm sure a lot of anti-vax content has excellent engagement metrics, too.
