   Google search really has gotten worse.

   It is due to perverse incentives. The longer it takes you to find what you want, the more ads you are forced to scroll past.

     Nah... The big buck isn't in ads shown, but in ads clicked, so it's in their interest to push you directly on the most consumerist side of normie net, that is paying them. (meaning, the shops for Iphones)

     I think, that it's an important distinction, since what you implied was, that google wants you to find what you want eventually. But that is false. It wants to change what you find in the end.

     @LukeAlmighty @Aether in my experience, it began getting way worse during the massive censorship wave. i assumed it was them gimping their actual infograbbing algo in favour of kosher results.

     Yes. It's the same mechanism, since your vote is just another product the Google can sell.

     About a month ago, I typed into google "loverslab", and the page was nowhere to be found. They just completelly blacklisted it for some time.

     I remember like 2005 when Google actually googled. Then one day it was like wtf is this. Now you can go 6 pages deep and it won't be there. You have to literally type exactly what you want and it still may not come up. Unless it's bolshevik approved of course.
     
     I feel like AI everyone is raving about will be same

     @Jonaschuzzlewit @LukeAlmighty @CatLord AI has dumbed down over the last 10 months as ChatGTP was burning so much band width most of the web have invested in anti-datamining tech to prevent it burning their upload limits.
     
     This of course has also impacted google

     Yeah, literally all datasets made past 2020 will be posioned beyond belief, and all the legacy ones are being scrubbed from the internet.

     The tech monopolies will be fun in the next decade. :D
