They are changing their natural listing results to be multi media photos and video content will be prioritised on search results, it is going to be released in America first this month I believe

They are also seeing the results will be far more varied and scrolling down will likely give you a result that you are looking for, and the traditional way of looking with the top result, being the one that you wanted may not be the case anymore

I think they are maybe trying to replicate the TikTok experience when looking for a result, you will end up scrolling different content relative to your search keyword

All of this will benefit content creators. If you have an ability to create video content, this will give you a competitive edge.

Could they do something to benefit the users instead?

Rest assured, it'll hurt both equally. Or do you think Google would treat content creators as equals?

Here's a reminder to everyone in the thread that Google owns YouTube. Content creators are, literally, the product. YouTube would not exist without them. They are not equals.

I hope this means that all the SEO bullshit will move to videos and the textual web will become usable again.

I’ve been unfortunate enough to see this, it’s absolute hot garbage and made it way harder to find what I wanted.

Is this a knee jerk response to TikTok kids using TikTok as their generations google?

I don’t think many understand how much Google land is up for grabs right now. Google Images is right there for the taking if you just supply the same experience as 10 years ago Google Images.
