I hate how accurate this is

I’m not joking one bit when I say my Google results were several times more accurate 10 years ago, maybe even 15. Using Google is a chore now. Sketchy SEO is a major reason I hate searching for anything on the Internet these days, but ads and fake content made it downright miserable.
I wonder if we need to abandon the internet as it currently exists as a whole and start over from first principles and license all the software in such a way that prevents shareholders from profiting. After religion, that’s the main thing ruining global society at the moment, is shareholder profits.
What you want is called “ending capitalism”
It doesn’t help that Google tries to guess what you actually wanted to search for.
More and more often I find myself clicking on my original text because Google decided it knows better than I do what I’m looking for.
Lemmy: I don’t know, but I wouldn’t trust any bike helmet that I can’t compile myself from source. It’s best to just stay home behind (real) firewalls so the Big Bike doesn’t target you for your striped Linux socks.
Good cycling infrastructure works better than any helmet, if you’re cycling with a helmet, don’t forget getting involved in trying to make your area more cycle safe, too.
Why can they not wear a helmet without getting involved in politics? What kind of weird take is that?
Yeah fuck off. I’m keeping my helmet and I’ll keep on judging dimwits riding without. Fucking stupid riding without.
Yeah, it’s simple as that. 100% of dutch cyclists are fucking stupid /s

And the amazon result is some unknown Chinese brand with 5,000 suspicious 5 star reviews
Amazon is a gigantic garage sale/garbage pile now.
always has been
There was a good article (maybe video?) posted not too long ago about how Google search results came to suck I wish I could find.
I think it essentially came down to ad revenue and websites tailoring their content to fit Google’s algorithm.
Very annoying. Even the old tip of adding the word Reddit to get results from real people is annoying these days because of how they try to push you to login.
