This bias in search engine algorithms towards big media publishers is detrimental to creators across the board. By consistently favoring established publications over independent sites, platforms like Google create a skewed playing field where smaller creators struggle to compete. Already influential and well-funded entities continue to thrive, while newer or niche creators are left marginalized. Shame, and they wonder why Google search has gone down hill.

There's a possibility that AI-driven platforms could potentially level the field, but there is also a valid concern that they might exacerbate the current bias towards big media publishers. AI algorithms, if not carefully designed and regulated, could amplify existing inequalities.

If history repeats itself, it seems like the latter.
