Reply to comment by detpistons4l in Google currently thinks all plants are algae by ayellowsky

Google has been on a downhill slide for a while. Unchecked SEO, ads, and Pinterest have turned into a nightmare to find anything first hand. But if you want a listicle churned out by some algorithm and posted on Pinterest Google has you covered.

I guess this is the way bing wins lol, not by outcompeting their competitor, but by their competitor self imploding their own product.

Very much it has. A few days ago I finally caved, downloaded Firefox for my phone, and set Bing as my preferred search engine.

The king is dead, long live the Bing.

It's garbage unless you actually need to buy something, at which point AdSense can basically read your mind and find exactly what you're looking for :P
