Hardly Seeing Slopfarms Today, Even in Google News
"Slopwatch" died months ago (after a long run). We just didn't find enough examples to 'enroll' into it.
Searching for "linux" in Google News we see no slop except a few links to this former Linux news site, which sadly defected to LLMs.
Google News seems to have successfully delisted a good/large majority of slopfarms. In fact, we barely saw any in recent days, maybe a matter of luck alone... or those slopfarms themselves throwing in the towel. Whatever it is, this helps reassure us that slop is becoming a flop and in our RSS feeds the only active slopfarm we saw today was linuxsecurity.com with "CI/CD Pipelines Vulnerabilities in Trusted Execution Paths March 2026" (slop).
Google's adventures with slop increased its debt significantly. It's very high at this point [ 1, 2].
As energy prices go sky-high expect the debt to increase very fast from hereon. We wrote about it last week.
Google's estimated share in search fell below 90% as results worsened. █
