No one locks their car door after parking. Nor do they roll up their windows.

Also, they find parking right away in an obviously busy area .

No one locks the door to their house either when leaving.

Oh, so telling advertisers to go fuck themselves DIDN'T help Twitter make money? 🤔

Sure, AI can do anything, but can it tell us why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch™️?

Oh no.....so anyway...

Yeah, Google search is useless now. I've switched to ddg , and it's much better. Just not having all those sponsored links helps a lot .

Maybe a searx instance would be even better, but I haven't found one that works consistently for me.

If I'm reading correctly, they're saying that google is much better that filtering out SEO spam. I'm no expert, but maybe some of the supposed "spam" may have some actual relevant content, and that they are just good at gaming SEO. However, this doesn't excuse google from blatantly placing advertised links as top search results, even if they aren't relevant at all.

I'm okay with ads, but I find it misleading when they appear as the top search results. I'd be okay with them if they were placed after the top 3 actual relevant results. Even better if ads were on a side bar area.

So far, for most of the random things I search, ddg has given me more relevant and useful results than google (just casual testing over a month), even if they are better at filtering out SEO spam. I may check out google again for some searches, but so far, ddg has been working well for me.

dang, I didn't know that. But like someone in the above comments has said, maybe the use a different index?

I recently switched my main desktop from windows to linux, and now my download speeds are much faster. I guess now I know why. 😬
