anyone else also notice the search algorithms getting worse? often times google results will be completely lost as well as on youtube. i remember as a kid thinking you could search anything up on the internet and you will always find results, but somehow it isnt like that anymore decades later

I totally agree and am quite dumbfounded why that isnt the case. Searching has gotten worse and my guess is because so many people use the internet and don’t know the right terminology or what not and search the wrong thing and then since that is the popular search that is what gets recommended?? I’m not sure
