I have the same experience. I started to notice about 6 months ago. It's happening a lot more often that i'm frustrated with results even when looking for trivial stuff. My last search frustration was: 'bitmitigate'. I had to make a benchmark of CDN services and their company site isn't on the first page like other products i'm searching for. I suspect it's because this company had business with alt-right imageboards, but it scares the shit of me if this kind of political controversies are incorporated now in google's algorythm. By contrast, searching 'bitmitigate' on DDG produces the expected outcome: the first result is the official .com site of the company. (Edit: added the last paragraph comparing to duckduckgo)

Odd. I put that in and got their Twitter, a Google "card" for the company, and then their site. And articles pointing out that they serve Daily Stormer and 8chan.

BitMitigate - CDN, WAF, DDoS Protection, Load Balancing, VPN <--- this is the main site, as expected. 2. BitMitigate: What we know about 8chan's new web protection ... 3.
