Define "sudden".
This has been a progressively worsening problem for a good while now.
To be fair to Google, it's not entirely their fault, there's a whole industry now that's entire purpose is to fuck up the results. But even so, Google has absolutelly lost what made it useful. It's far too concerned with try to curate for you instead of just doing damn search for the words. That helps them get more bullshit and some ads in there.
Can you explain a little what you mean by “a whole industry now that’s entire purpose is to fuck up the results”? I’ve never heard of that before and it sounds alarming to say the least
I'm assuming they're talking about SEO(search engine optimization). There's companies that offer it as a service to boost websites rankings so they are closer to the top.
