Internet search in general has severely declined in 2023. I was trying to figure out the syntax for putting a URL in slack the other day and couldn't find a proper article anywhere in the top 10 results.

I think they are trying to integrate their bard UI into search and it is killing the results.

At this point, I use google to search reddit in order to find organic results. Unfortunately, that will probably be taken over by spammers soon enough.

YouTube is also horrible these days. They made it so for any event or happening, only "official" sources show up so they can add "context" to the narrative. It's dystopian, but possibly worse: annoying. I can't find out what I nees to, when I need to. Thanks Google.
Or they outright silence smaller news organizations that broadcast popular, although controversial, figures who fall under a certain political affiliation.

I'm grateful for places like Rumble and Twitter, where real news can be found. :)

I have some bad news for you...
