Why can’t it show me the good old content on the internet instead of pages of blog spam made by AI? Obviously they used to show me the old content but apparently users only want new content now…

Its the Signal to Noise Ratio problem. AI generated spam is easier than ever to create and harder to algorithmicly detect. This results in a rapid increase in the volume of webspam.
This does not excuse the fact that search results show me things that are unrelated to my search. Not ads, just pages that do not even contain any of my search terms anywhere on the page

This isn’t a SNR issue at all.
