Has anyone else noticed Google's gotten especially worse since 2019?

[Sage In All Fields]

Like I know it was getting progressively worse since 2011 but after around 2019 it's started to become straight up impossible to find anything that's like slightly controversial and I'm actually having to go to DuckDuckGo just to track down certain articles about the problems of fiat currency because the results on google are like 70% barely related to what I'm looking for, even after I stick things in quotes. Might end up making DuckDuckGo my default search engine again because it's just getting ridiculous at this point.

I only use google for very specific porn that Duckduckgo has issues finding. Like Asian chicks in thigh high boots with pretty good sized tiddies.
For some reason Duckduck go sucks at that, but for everything else it’s great.

I've been noticing this too. Google really likes giving me articles that are completely unrelated to whatever I'm searching up. I use DuckDuckGo for most searches so it doesn't really affect me much, but I imagine it's frustrating for people who only use Google.

I bloody swear that google will search for only the synonyms that you type in instead of searching for the actual bloody words that you search for.

So what’s the question?

Yeah, they also keep changing their design all the time because fuck consistency.

Google used to give you the option to click through hundreds of pages of search results that featured the exact term you typed. Now even the results on the first page are approximations of what you searched or ads or barely applicable and after page two have nothing to do with your search term. I first noticed this happening around 2017.

It's all ads.
