People who haven't gotten into habit of googling stuff in the last 20 years might not get into it at all anymore because of how search engines are gamed with SEO spam tactics nowadays

Whenever you try to get an answer to something like "What movie was the Be Like Water line from" and you can NOT find anything other than a bunch of articles with tons of paragraphs wasting your time - that's the SEO spam tactics. Those articles chose words that made themselves easier to be indexed by Google, but don't actually want to answer that question.

And yes. I literally looked this up this week.

I still don't fucking know if it came from Enter the Dragon or some other short series. I just gave up. Google has enshitified news articles on the internet and has to seriously consider retraining their algorithm to negatively impact shit like that.
