So ddg is down, so I visit Google. It’s been some years.
I just can’t believe how poor it’s results are, and how it’s trying to suggest things it think I might also want (and failing miserably).
I just assumed ddg would be the lesser, but I use it for privacy. Turns out I’m wrong.
How long has Google been this bad?
I think it’s been years now. At least a couple of years, I was baffled too back in the day.
it’s been slowly getting worse since the 2010s. i remember talking about it back then.
I stopped using Google when they dropped their “don’t be evil” principle. Not just because of that, but because their prior decisions were going against the principle. Sure it was ~10 years ago. A couple of years ago I tried Google search hoping it was still decent, but Jesus Lord, it sucked.
It’s still there. See the final paragraph: https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/
