Google search really has gotten worse.

It is due to perverse incentives. The longer it takes you to find what you want, the more ads you are forced to scroll past.

@Aether
Nah... The big buck isn't in ads shown, but in ads clicked, so it's in their interest to push you directly on the most consumerist side of normie net, that is paying them. (meaning, the shops for Iphones)

@LukeAlmighty @Aether in my experience, it began getting way worse during the massive censorship wave. i assumed it was them gimping their actual infograbbing algo in favour of kosher results.

@CatLord @Aether
Yes. It's the same mechanism, since your vote is just another product the Google can sell.

I remember like 2005 when Google actually googled. Then one day it was like wtf is this. Now you can go 6 pages deep and it won't be there. You have to literally type exactly what you want and it still may not come up. Unless it's bolshevik approved of course.

I feel like AI everyone is raving about will be same

About a month ago, I typed into google "loverslab", and the page was nowhere to be found. They just completelly blacklisted it for some time.
