Is it just me or do all search engines feel soooo bad these days?

I suspect that this is the direct result of AI generated content just overwhelming any real content.

I tried ddg, google, bing, quant, and none of them really help me find information I want these days.

Perplexity seems to work but I don't like the idea of AI giving me "facts" since they are mostly based on other AI posts

ETA: someone suggested SearXNG and after using it a bit it seems to be much better compared to ddg and the rest.

I don't even want a baby, but I was getting nonstop diaper ads for weeks this summer.

I think it's because they're desperately trying to get people to have kids(thats my hypothesis anyway). Not saying yours isn't picking up you talking about the topic, but I got so swamped with them at one point I was starting to wonder if I was losing my mind. I asked my husband about it and he was getting them too.

It was honestly weird as hell.
