What's your opinion? Does google really "not work" anymore? Are there any better search engines? Why did the quality of search results go down? I honestly stumbled onto this question through this music video, what is ironic in it's own way i feel...

Yup try it and set as default in the browser. You will start to see a lot of sites that never showed up in google also. They have these "listacles" in search results where they group relevant sites into a small list, which makes it super simple to go to them for results.

If you want a sample search, try "best tv shows 2023" or something like that.

More like organic user reviews I would say.

The post is literally about search engines. This is about as organic as you’re gonna get.

TIL shills are organic users.

you don't seem to know the definition of shill.

The way you can blacklist listicles and similar garbage is worth the asking price in the face of it

I haven't done that but yes, it's pretty much unheard of that the user can actually control what shows up in search if you come from Google-land.
