For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

It's so frustrating that I often have to do this just avoid getting a lot of spam sites from google when I'm searching for something niche. I feel like the internet is getting progressively worse for user experience.

I would like to say we could just use another search engine, but what made Google top dog was because it hadnt succumbed to advertisers in a bloatware way until now. Everything on the internet is just bloat now, unfortunately.

Weirdly, Microsoft is the one company that seems to be trending in the right direction (granted, with many, many missteps along the way). Or maybe they've just kept walking while most other tech companies race to the bottom

Time will help that at least. The reason google links to reddit is there were great discussions there. With time lemmy (or another federated instance) will likely take its place.
I went to results for reddit because I could see people interacting about the question. This looks to have that same allure.
