Google’s Preferred Sources feature goes live: Is it the change the search engine needs?

Google has launched a change on their search engine which will change the way in which you interact with the news.

Google now allows you to choose your preferred sources. According to Android Authority, this is a response to the AI spam sites that have been clogging up the news feeds on Google.

Is this better?

I believe that Google should have put such a feature many years ago on their site. The inability to filter out specific websites without using advanced search shows that they were just riding on advertising revenue. They did not care to actually improve the search engine and were just making patches here and there just to keep people content.

There are many problems with Google News even with the changes. For many years, Google has not even bothered to curate. Many times I will come across a site which has a paywall preventing me from even reading it.

Another issue is that the quality of the writing is much worse than what you will see on social media. Google’s inability to integrate with social media is going to bite them in the back here.

It’s a pretty small change which will have a big impact. However, they will need to do more to get the search engine back on track and more reliable.

Seven Helpful tips on How to Stream GeForce Now on Twitch

Oblivion Remastered Cloud Ruler Temple with the Blades

Oblivion Remastered is an excellent remake of the original game. When it comes to streaming from cloud gaming services, that is another story.

Cloud gaming has been around for some time now and is still struggling to some extent. It still cannot replace the smoothness of having your own computer playing a game from hard drives or solid state drives.

GeForce Now when playing Oblivion Remastered is clearly a mixed bag. The main issue is streaming the stream of video game. This puts more strain on the internet connection. The issue is once again using a Wi-Fi connection instead of Ethernet. I highly recommend using an Ethernet connection instead of using wireless connection. My house’s internet is Fiber and is very quick and efficient if on the wire, but it is slow when on the wireless connections at home.

At the moment right now, Cloud Gaming is still not a viable option for Twitch Streamers who do not have Ethernet ports. However, with Ethernet ports, this means of streaming cloud gaming becomes much more viable for players.

Solution for using Wi-Fi while streaming Cloud Streams of games on Twitch.

If you cannot use Ethernet at home or other places, you should maximize your wireless connections.

Buy a more powerful router which will allow you to use more bandwidth. Some older routers tend to have more limitations on how much data they sent through wireless signals.
Spend more on a Wi-Fi extenders which had help to bring more of your house into the range of the routers
Attempt to play at times where there is less traffic on the cloud gaming services.
Place your computer as close to the router as possible
Clear out any other bandwidth consuming activities on your computer.
Ensure that you are playing at a time where other family members are not consuming bandwidth at the same time as you
Purchase the Ultimate plan on GeForce Now for the most powerful remote computer so that it can somewhat mitigate performance issues relating to the running of the game.

Netflix has too many reality tv shows in 2025.

Netflix is making so many reality shows that it is ruining the platform. While people may claim that Netflix is better than the old cable tv channels, the platform seems destined to be taking up the same content that made people want to leave cable in the first place.

Netflix has spent so much money on these shows that the home page, no matter what choices that you make is filled with Too Hot To Handle and Love is Blind. Not only that, but Netflix has making more country specific reality tv shows and it is only starting to fill the entire platform with more slop which is making the site unusable. A decade ago, Netflix had some original programming but it had a much larger library. There were shows from the studios as well as the small but growing catalog made within Netflix.

Now?

It is like a desert in comparison to Netflix of 10 or 20 years ago.

While Netflix did not have streaming services yet, its online catalog was in the area of around 30,000 to 40,000 movies and tv shows 20 years ago. 10 years later in 2015, the catalog of physical movies included Blu-Rays as well and was around 80,000 to 90,000 movies. The catalog is much smaller now and we can clearly see the results of what that means. It means that Netflix is churning out low quality entertainment(slop) in order to prop up the platform. For now, it is working here as Netflix is now putting ads on its cheapest subscription along with having increasing subscriber counts in countries outside of America.

Netflix’s originals are also taking much longer than in the past to make. Stranger Things has been on Netflix since 2016, yet the show has sporadically been on television. The series came online when Netflix was starting to pump out many more originals to replace the licensed shows that were being taken off the platform by the studios and put on their own streaming services.

Reality TV shows allow Netflix to have predicable seasons just like on old TV channels. However, they are not really shows that have any artistry but are there just to prop up its catalog. They are cheap to make and reliable. However, they are a sign that Netflix has sold its soul out for quick and cheap cash.

Netflix in its earlier years, before the subscriber counts broke over a million, had more movies in its catalog than now. While you had to wait to get a DVD and then later Blu-Rays in the mail, you had choices and wasn’t reliant on their originals.

This is why Netflix was better in the past. Delayed gratification is better than instant gratification. That people are spending minutes scrolling through the menu looking for what they want to watch is a clear sign that Netflix simply wants to keep people on the platform and not accomplish anything of note. There is no grandness to their vision, just profits. Studios of the past cared about profits, but they created stars who were avatars of their respective nations.

What is Netflix now but simply a money scheme for the streaming elites? Is there any sense of care for art or beauty anymore?

Netflix will realize that churning out reality tv show will not help the site in the long run. Another streaming service will come about, and it will create competition. That competition is what Netflix needs to return to its roots and give people choices.
