Here’s my theory… Google wants to artificially fuck up it’s search functionality. It wants to offer good performance for a fee. And it’s going to be doing that by giving it’s own AI the correct filters while at the same time tripping every other AI capable of searching the net such that the other AI results become garbage and only the Google one works correctly. Anyway that’s my conspiracy theory, fuck Google with a bunch of sharp forks.

Or they just cannot complete with literal millions of people attempting to optimize their webpages for discovery using Google.

If other services like kagi can offer better results they should be able as well, right?

I haven’t used Google for awhile now. It just became an ad-ridden hellhole.

Do people not have ad blockers anymore?

That’s not what we’re talking about. Ad blockers don’t do anything to fix Google’s search algorithm

I understand the post OP but I’m replying to a comment. Specifically this part…

I’m surprised in most posts I’ve read about this there wasn’t a mention of Yacy which is a P2P distributed indexer / search engine. It heavily focuses on privacy. I’ve used it in the past and it worked great for my use cases to bypass censorship. It’s still actively developed after all the years. Would definitely recommend it or try it out as an replacement. The installation and usage is fairy simply.
