谷歌放弃谷歌新闻了吗? -- Google has abandoned Google News?

文章摘要

文章以《阿甘正传》中福雷斯特因分心导致船撞码头的场景作比喻,批评谷歌新闻因过度关注AI和搜索功能而忽视核心新闻服务,导致用户体验下降。

文章总结

谷歌新闻如今就像《阿甘正传》里阿甘的捕虾船一样失控。作者作为长期使用谷歌新闻的记者,发现其功能逐渐失效:搜索结果中大量来自Instagram等社交平台而非新闻网站,许多结果来自无法识别的外语国家,且时间筛选功能失效,无法按指定时段(如过去一周)获取新闻。作者认为谷歌已放弃维护谷歌新闻,任其像电影中失控的船一样撞向码头。

评论总结

根据评论内容,用户普遍反映Google News质量严重下滑,主要观点如下:

1. 搜索结果质量恶化(高认可度) - 搜索结果充斥社交媒体内容,而非新闻网站(mikelgan: "a huge majority of some of my searches are from Instagram or other social media sites") - 时间筛选功能失效,无法按指定日期范围搜索(mikelgan: "when I specify news published in, say, the past week, it just ignores that setting") - 搜索结果包含大量无法识别的外语内容(mikelgan: "Many of my results are in foreign languages I cannot even identify")

2. 产品被谷歌忽视(高认可度) - 谷歌已放弃对Google News的维护(mikelgan: "Google has abandoned Google News and let it crash into the dock") - 产品长期未获改进(anigbrowl: "Google News has been garbage for a long time") - 与早期版本相比质量大幅下降(anigbrowl: "Google News from 2008... was astonishing how information-dense it was compared to today")

3. 用户转向替代方案(中等认可度) - 推荐Ground News(toomuchtodo: "Use Ground News instead") - 推荐Kagi(dgellow: "Kagi still going strong") - 推荐forth.news(jaredwiener: "check out forth.news") - 转向YouTube和LLM转录(tonyhart7: "I get news from youtube videos... transcribe it back to 2-3 paragraphs max using llm")

4. 对谷歌整体产品的失望(中等认可度) - 认为谷歌正在"缓慢死亡"(3dedb728-3f77: "Google is just slowing dying") - 其他产品如Google Finance、Google Books同样被忽视(dnw: "Google Finance’s redesign is also a disaster") - 搜索功能整体退化(kamranjon: "search which just doesn’t work anymore and is full of AI generated garbage")

5. 少数不同观点(低认可度) - 认为用户习惯已改变,不再依赖新闻聚合(rzz3: "Most people either get their news from a single news site or from social media") - 认为Google搜索从未真正优秀(dalemhurley: "Google search was never a good product")
