I’ve wondered if this and similar cases accounts for the dramatic decline in quality of Google search. It’s all but useless these days. I’d honestly rather have AltaVista back.
The amount of ad links I have to scroll through to get to my actual search is just awful these days. Almost feels like the entire first page is ads and then the second page is just sketchy fucking backwoods sites that may or may not bukkake your computer with viruses
Oh yeah. Not to mention that it's no longer possible to do literal searches, to exclude certain words from a search, to require certain words in a search.... Useless.
I know Dogpile is still around. It was my go-to back in the day. I may have to check it out.
