I think that's a huge exaggeration. I use it several times each day, and mostly find what I look for. Ad supported search results are at the top and marked as such.

Which is annoying, I shouldn’t have to scroll halfway down the page to get my actual search results

And then half the non-ad results are some garbage AI generated article that doesn’t actually answer your question. That’s why I usually end up on Reddit for answers one way or another. I do usually search Reddit results through Google though… so I guess that’s helpful?

I do 😂 fuck Google. It’s a last resort when I absolutely can’t find what I’m looking for.

If it's your go-to "last resort when you can't find what your looking for," wouldn't that make it better than what you are using? It finds the answer when your "usual" source cannot?

Nah, just means what I’m looking for is so obscure, almost no one bothered making a web page for.
