My vision for the future of search:

Text search on the web will slowly die. No one trusts the results of random text. Google is in the adversarial position of wanting to censor certain answers as well as present answers that maximize their own revenue.

People will search video based content instead, and use the fact that a human spoke the information, as well as comments/upvotes to vet it as trustworthy material (like on TikTok).

Google search as we know it will slowly die, and then will decline like Facebook. TikTok will steal search marketshare as their video clips span all of human life.

I don't understand this argument. "Votes" and Comments are almost completely gamed on every popular website already, I personally don't trust them in 95% of cases. Video content is usually very much a lowest common denominator type of information, and I don't understand why I should trust "a human said this" over "a human wrote this".

TikTok basically eviscerated facebook over night. Gen Z already makes run of the mill searches on that platform, and is increasingly doing so. Older generations cannot see the massive changes occuring. Facebook stock tanking is not random. Neither is Netflix. TikTok is completely underestimated. All of the new content is being created there. People are not creating text based content on facebook or on blogs. Reddit is the last bastion

Ha, is this a joke? You can pay people on Fiver to produce videos for you given any script at all

Viral videos dont lie. I'm dead serious. I think the end of Google is social media content in video form

I agree. When Alex Jones looks me in the eye and tells me the military is putting chemicals in the water to turn the frogs gay, I know he's telling me the truth.

Thanks for your insight. My experience is that not all people (re)search, for some people, social media is their only source of information online.
