The weird, possibly beneficial, consequence of Google becoming increasingly awful is that I've begun aggressively building my technical book library again. I've always been a fan of technical books, but would almost never buy classic reference texts because if I just needed to look up an idea or concept real quick I could usually find an adequate explanation online. The problem is that content marketing in my domain (stats/data science) has gotten so bad that nearly all of the results are Towards Data Science and similar garbage articles, written by relative amateurs that were rushed out to get ranking for a longer tail of search terms. The number of times I've researched a topic I know well but want to understand some nuance of only to find results that are at best naive in their understanding and at worse outright wrong is astounding. Now whenever I see any recommendations for good books I buy them, even if I don't have time or immediate interest in reading them right now because I know that if in 6 months I have some relevant question I'm likely to find the wrong answer online.
