I believe that Google has figured out (correctly, IMO) that accuracy doesn't matter to most people 99% of the time, and people will likely do a deeper search for the 1% of the time they do want it.

If people really wanted the truth and facts, we would not have misinformation spread this widely via social media and other places.

People prefer to be lazy and sit and do nothing, than to move around to achieve a goal.

Is that a good thing? The reality is most humans are becoming more and more intellectually lazy - as a result their cognitive function are in decline. Therefore if something looks right at face value / supports an internal bias - they take it and run with it.
