    This ain’t just Google. SEO effectively killed all search engines. As an IT guy who’s been googling shit before I was 10, I can’t find shit anymore.

        Sadly this is how I feel too. Everything is trying to squeeze a dime out of my eyes. Man I don’t even buy shit unless I absolutely need it.

      I genuinely can’t trust google results to be true and unbiased anymore. Nowadays I use a combination of google results, reddit results, Quorn results, ChatGPT fever dreams, and dead reckoning.

        This is the issue though. I subscribed to chatgpt plus hoping it would do the work for me, but chatgpt (although it understands a lot) still fails to tell me what I need by ‘browsing the web’. I also tried every other known search engine out there but sadly the results are very similar (ddg, bing). So I feel like I’m trapped in a loop where I can’t get out.
