No matter how many times people shit on Google, it's still the best search engine, as much as I wish it wasn't so. But it is
People aren't comparing it to alternatives, they're comparing it to Google 5-10 years ago.
Google used to be astoundingly good at figuring out what it was you wanted, and finding out for you. Now there's a lot more SEO garbage and meaningless fluff clogging every results page, and if your search could even remotely be related to buying something, it's only products and ads.
I would agree it's a little worse than it used to be, but the post implies it's useless which is just false
Dude, I switched from Google for the first time in my life a couple months ago because I couldn't take it anymore.
Ads, ads, ads, ads, ads, ads, ads
Ai articles, Ai articles, Ai articles, Ai articles, Ai articlesThe fact that google has a built-in graphing calculator just isn't worth it.
I won't forget this, actually: I was looking up what to do next in a game I was playing—very deliberately, I care a lot about spoilers—and the "people also ask" section implied, for no reason, this had nothing to do with what I wanted to know, that a character who died really early on apparently has things to say in chapter 9.
Ok. You can't really avoid spoilers on the Internet though. That's kind of common knowledge
I do. I'm a professional.
That stupid answers thing only got me once, maybe twice, because I don't let it anymore.
This kind of thing is a lot easier to control, though, when your results are what you wanted and not what you didn't.
Not really. Especially after the first couple results, it's clueless.
kagi gives me much better results. i mean, it better, since it costs money.
Yeah, I would pay for it, but when I looked at pricing I was pretty disappointed
they changed the $25 dollar tier to $10 recently. made it a lot more realistic for me, but i still wish it was lower
