Google became more and more of a narrow nightmare over time, to the point that people have started added reddit to their search keyword since the results have become so controlled away from the search and towards some paid content or authoritative source (which usually is outdated). But my question is why can't duckduckgo be the replacement? The worry is that Google implicitly rewards some content over other content with views, and therefore promotes some production over other production. As another user wrote intelligently in this thread: "At some point in the past, from what I remember, they started ranking blog content lower than more "authoritative" sources, hastening the decline of personal blogging. If you're wondering why every recipe on the internet has ten paragraphs on how this recipe is their grandmother's favorite and how it reminds the author of the freshness of summer produce, it's because that's the kind of content that Google will give a high ranking"
