It's shocking how bad it's become. Every google search feels like a bunch of random noise and clickbait. SEO and walled communities killed google search. Just wish there was a search engine that would effectively find info across all these walled sites. So much useful info hidden in discord, facebook communities, and slack chats.
Google has gotten bad, but YouTube search is just...I don't even know how to describe it. They've decided that when you search for something, only the top 2 results should be related to your search, and after that it should just go back to listing things that are otherwise in your recommended feed (totally unrelated to your search query).
