   @thomasfuchs It was startling to see how bad Google results were when Reddit mods shut their subreddits. The whole internet is becoming more or less unusable.

   I suspect the future is going to be a bunch of invite only enclaves.

     @thomasfuchs You should give https://kagi.com/ a try. I've been using it for about a month, and it's great at filtering out garbage results.

     @thomasfuchs let me guess, the results were titles akin to “the x best ice makers for 2023” with a post full of Amazon affiliate links?

     It’s a joke.

     @thomasfuchs @kev if the manufacturer had decent online documentation then it'd outperform all the shit in Google. So imo the impetus should be with the manufacturer and it should be a consumer right and legal obligation
