Matt BlazeThis may be obvious, but I recently started routinely adding "-youtube" to google searches. This eliminates most pages with links to garbage YouTube-monetized videos that try to attract people looking for basic instructions on how to do simple things. Greatly improves the quality of search results.
Johnnt@mattblaze tbh I am finding google results pretty poor in general recently with the majority of the first page mainly just sponsored ads and click bait. I end up using DDG when I don’t want anything regional.
Morgan ⚧️@johnnt @mattblaze same. Even Google results that aren't ads are primarily YouTube, Twitter, Quora questions that make you scroll through 5 million other questions before reading the answer, broken reddit links and ai generated FAQs. On DuckDuckGo I can at least find some blog posts
