You and your enjoyment is no longer center to the recommendations. Ads/money, engagement, and your time are the only metrics that matter.
Results these days seem worse then the old days of Altavista and Lycos.

And then your data shows much better metrics for the cohort which puts up with the bad experience, because everyone else churns. This might work for some time, but I don't think it is sustainable. Right now it feels everyone is ready to ditch Apple products, Twitter, Tesla, Amazon, YouTube, Gmail once something better comes around because of all these small quirks and weird UX things where you notice that the vendor's interests are just not aligned with you as a user/customer.
