Is anyone asking for this? All the Google search users I know have been asking for search that actually gives good results and isn't made up of 70% recopied stackoverflow articles into sketchy blogs and AI written listicle garbage articles. But instead of fixing that and maybe making an advanced search that doesn't suck, they "make" this "improvement."

Here's why I find it funny: following topics/tags is something Google on android had ten years ago. It's also the type of info I have no doubt they have been keeping in the background forever and are only now exposing. They have known if you like mountain climbing, now they are letting you say it yourself.

The only reason I can think for this is because their search algorithm has gone so off the rails making guesses about people's habits, now they need to pin it down with actual user input. That or you get more ad dollars if the user said they like mountain climbing than if you guessed they do.

Fixed that for you.
