    You can still search on search engines some searches dont even have any ads. So what feature was removed? They actively started showing worse results ok what did they do?

    Search engines still search same as they did in the 2010s. They have had ads for decades. It hasnt increased you search you see an ad or two or even none.

    Your replies are equivalent to AI slop. If you are going to write something please at least think about what you are writing.

      I do a lot of searching, both for my day job and for personal use.

      Search engines are shit nowadays. The first page of results is consistently either a list of copy pasted llm-generated nonsense, or like reddit posts from 4-5 years ago.

      I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that they have gotten measurably worse even just looking back, say, 18 months. To the point they are barely usable nowadays.

      It seems hard to believe that this wasn’t on purpose in order to peddle their stupid llm chatbot, when it happened so consistently at the same time.

      Not saying search engines weren’t getting worse before, but it was cranked up to insane levels recently.

        Do you think its because there is a lot more spam and SEO than 10 years ago or do you think google is actively doing something to remove relevant results from searches?
