Yes, it's broken.
But when Google was young and wonderful, the web was a relative paradise, and rich with truthful (or at least well-intended) information.
Now, the web is mostly an SEO-optimized, Terminal-Stage Capitalist hellscape. Even the very best talents and intentions would find it extremely difficult to create a "good" search engine these days.
I mostly use non-Google search now. Even when it ain't better, I can imagine that I'm boosting the "people looking for less-sucky-than-Google search" stats.
- Zambyte 2y ago> Now, the web is mostly an SEO-optimized I don't really think that's true. I think most of the web you find from Google is mostly SEO-optimized. There are a lot of web pages. And a lot of them, Google does not promote. I have had a really good experience with web search since I switched to Kagi last year. Like, I've genuinely been able to find things that I have been unable to find with other search engines.
