It's been getting worse every year especially with IT related topics. When I was setting my mail server on RHEL8, I had to look up like 6 articles about Dovecot/Pigeonhole when I was configuring it and most of them were clearly not written by anything resembling a human. Eventually gave up on trying to find a shortcut and read the documentation.

The fact that Google's first page is riddled with advertisements doesn't help. The first usable result is usually 3rd or 4th. And people's transition to querying for questions instead of closely related keywords doesn't help either. Google is much better at answering questions, than answering keywords.
