#4Lately I have found Google to be a less reliable search engine when compared to a few years ago. Whether I am trying to find an old meme, a piece of research or even googling errors it seems like the results are never what I am looking for. And it's not just SEO spamming since things like software errors are not something people try and game. It used to be I would paste in an error and I would get a Git Issues result for exactly what I was looking for, but now I just go to GitHub or Stack Overflow directly.

I've been finding ChatGPT to be more reliable at pointing me in the right direction than either Google or Bing in a lot of cases lately. And don't even get me started on how YouTube search is beyond useless

This first phase of the trial will assess whether Google has illegally monopolized the online search market. US District Judge Amit Mehta, who is overseeing the trial, is expected to issue a decision next year on whether Google broke the law. If the Justice Department wins, it may seek remedies at the second phase of the trial to break off Alphabet’s search business from other products, like Android and Google Maps, which would mark the biggest forced breakup of a US company since AT&T was dismantled in 1984.

We'll just have to wait until next year to see what happens.

They've manipulated the search results too much.

Yeah I have noticed youtube search is bad - the only time it gives me what I want is if I search for something I have watched previously - Discovery is totally useless.
