Feel kinda bad for them actually
they do a lot "right" but then still get shitted on

>people complain about how all you get is SEO'd answers and shit from bots and stuff
>they add a literal specialized forums tab and puts forum answers higher up in the result
>no one uses the tab at all, while still complaining about the death of forums even though if you actually did yuse it you'd see there's actually plenty of forums out there that still have activity and discussion, the reality is (You) just dont care about them

>countless articles about how everyone is putting reddit in front of their searches to get "good" results a few years ago
>google buys out exclusive reddit search access, and put it towards the top
>people go reeeee and still complain, half either forgot they wanted this, and another half flipflopped and is now complaining about this

>currently at the point where people claim that llm is a better search engine (fuckin lmao)
>google directly integrates llm into its results
>cue more reeeeeeeing

i was joking i dont actually feel bad, but i think it's more a lesson of how customers are largely all slack jawed retards that truly do not know what the fuck they want That said their search market share is still absurdly high so I guess the numbers really speak for themselves. Guess it's only a tiny minority of people complaining in the first place, or maybe the market share is staying so high because they implement these things after all, and it's just a further tiny minority that can't appreciate it.

Also no one is EVER, in all the complaining about google search online, willing to give any kind of verified numbers or even examples of google search being worse now than it was in the past. It's always just "trust me bro i swear". That's assuming their metric for it being bad isn't that amount of sponsored links they see, even though the amount of sponsored links it shows doesn't matter to anyone with even a quarter of a brain. Just above them are the ones who are complaining because they have no idea how to use a search operator, etc. And above those at the ones shilling other engines as if every other engine isn't worse. Though im begging to realize these probably are just literal shills. No one not being paid to say so could possibly think ddg delivers better results.
Lastly are the people for whom are correct the results are worse, but dont recognize thats only because the internet is worse, not something inherent to google, otherwise other places would have better results


btw this doesnt apply to like image search that actually is terrible and much worse, especially worse than competitors. don't get me started on how much worse reverse image search has gotten, on the off chance it allows you to search at all because it detected a face in the image
>>
OP isn't wrong, google is just low-hanging fruit and doesn't fire back at anyone. when other services don't work or go down or distill from competitors verbatim, everyone makes excuses and looks the other way

no, forums largely died after around 2010, please kill yourself

>google buys out exclusive reddit search access
Explain how this is about solving a problem people had and not just consolidating their market position (which is evil)
