Title: Google just fucking SUCKS now
Post by: Scott5114 on October 05, 2025, 06:59:28 AM
...since we apparently need a companion thread for the entire company now! Don't be evil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil) is so 2004; now we're on "Don't be any good".

Quote from: agentsteel53 on February 26, 2014, 03:26:58 PMwhat the high holy fuck ever prompted Google to release this pile of shit?

it's like going from a car that reliably transports you to point B, to Ace Rothstein's Cadillac.

Behold, the worst Google result I've ever gotten. We've all gotten "not quite what I'm looking for" results from Google over the years, but I think this is the first time I've ever gotten something THIS irrelevant.

And guess what...this is all on purpose, because some asshole thought people were getting results from Google too fast (https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/)!

Ah, I'll have to share this with my wife.  One of her favorite things to say to me is "Google it" when I ask to detail something she is describing.  Perhaps I'll actually do what she says for a change (I usually use Yahoo) and get a Google result about Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome.

At least you got a real scientific publication about . . . something (?), as opposed to a website comprised of 90% ads and 10% poor writing about the rumor mill topic of the day.

I wish there was an option to turn off the Gemini search results.

Sadly, the National Institutes of Health appear to not be in the business of promulgating Chilean highway shield standards.

Does the National Institute of Health even count as real science nowadays given what the heck is going on in the HHS Department?

The National Institute of Health does not count as real science nowadays given that they don't have Chilean highway shield standards.

Speaking of random suggestions, Youtube (owned by Google) has in the past year or so started putting in many suggested search results when I try to search for specific types of videos, which is very annoying and not relevant to what I'm trying to search.
