Google executives acknowledged this month they need to do a better job surfacing user-generated content after the recent Reddit blackouts.

The Internet has been slowly getting gutted since at least 2015.
It is to the point that a regular search engine is useless for actual research unless you are a power user and even then it is censored.
It’s called enshittification for a reason.
What does the “en” prefix accomplish in that word?
It’s shocking to see how bad they’ve become at what used to be their core function. I mean their brand name became the verb for looking something up on the internet. Now it just returns a useless mix of advertising, blogspam, AI spam, and sometimes-useful reddit results.
I’m also not quite happy with the search experience due to them constantly moving UI components around randomly. First they started shuffling around the order of the search tabs (All, Images, Videos, Shopping, News) erratically, and now they’ve also decided to also start including what they believe may be related search terms there as well, sometimes.
