Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?
So ddg is down, so I visit Google. It's been some years.
I just can't believe how poor it's results are, and how it's trying to suggest things it think I might also want (and failing miserably).
I just assumed ddg would be the lesser, but I use it for privacy. Turns out I'm wrong.

I’ve found Google alternatives great for things that are… filtered (copyright etc), but honestly no matter what search engine I use, I swear none just give you the results for your query anymore. I’ve still been finding the Bing-based ones horrible quality for relevancy and defaulting to Google.
Maybe it's not only a search engine problem, but a content problem. There's less and less useful content on the web nowadays
Ehh I wouldn't say so. There's still plenty of good content around, especially if you're trying to learn. The issue is that there's also a lot of bad content, a lot from garbage ai generated nonsense and a lot from low quality content that plays the seo manipulation game.
The proportion of good content to bad content has taken a steep nosedive to be sure.
