What is funny is that its not even better now compared to then. It used to be super fast and found everything on the web in an instant.

Abd today, well, you know how Google search is...

A former high-up at Google has stated that they intentionally made the search engine worse a few years ago so that people would see more ads and click on more sponsored links. Now, the best result is #15 in the list, on average.

~~I don't remember his name, but he got moved to the education department. ~~

Someone else had the link.

"Here's ads, misleading ai slop we generated from stolen content, and forty links to AI generated content that's probably even worse. You might find something human on page 7 of the results. Oops it's a dead link lmao."

Google once stated that their primary goal was to get you off of Google property as quickly as possible- IE deliver your search result and get you where you want to go. That was the exact opposite of every other major website at the time (search engines, 'portals', etc) which wanted to keep you in.

It's what made Google great. They were laser focused on the best search experience.

Now their search kinda sucks, it's all AI and fuzzy logic and whatnot and even with quotes and Verbatim it STILL doesn't just search for what I typed in not what you thought I wanted
