Adding mine "Rant HN: Why I hate modern Google Search, a perfect example" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26202941 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26202941 Coincidentally it was 3 months ago so it fits the OP's general time estimate although the degradation has been happening for years Not only just the aspect I ranted about, but also the fact there's a bunch of low-quality code web scrapers that are showing up on the first page of results. These garbage websites literally just copy and paste the contents of sites like Stack Overflow or GitHub, and the domain is always different, and the formatting gives a low quality impression as well. My search term in quotes are not even on the page half the time. Please excuse my tone, but why the fuck does modern software have to keep getting shitty all the god damn time? Can engineers please start focusing on software that works incredibly well, and keep it that way? I know they exist, but it seems like it's getting rarer and rarer. Is it REALLY that hard to have software that works for a historically long time and just avoid steering it into crap? Maybe it justifies the salaries, who knows? I'm getting so sick of this churn cycle
