Has anyone seen a peacock roaming in Everett? Spotted Fri 19 Jun 2026 on Broadway in the Pinehurst area and in North Everett a couple of months ago

It's getting harder to find specific videos of real people doing real things. Even common things everyone needs like how to fix an issue with your car, house, or appliance. But also more specific things like how to take care of a pet, how to train for a skilled task (especially something hands-on that isn't a super common hobby), etc. Don't get me wrong, there are videos of real people doing real things, the issue I'm (and many others) are having is finding videos for doing specific things. The videos that used to help you solve a problem, not just entertain.

This is clearly intended by Google. Help videos like that let you do things on your own. That costs you less money and is bad for business. The question is, what can we do about it?
