Google Search Is Dying | DKB

Reddit is currently the most popular search engine. The only people who don’t know that are the team at Reddit, who can’t be bothered to build a decent search interface. So instead we resort to using Google, and appending the word “reddit” to the end of our queries.

Essentially saying that due to seo spam and commercialization, Google is now useless for search and more and more people do site:reddit.com.

I think it’s a little extreme but agree generally.

    And google is the best of the lot, on other search engines the second page is often all the same sites as the first. as is the third.

      Yes, but the problem of Google is the privacy and the filter bubble effect. Because of this I use Whoogle , the public instance I use https://whoogle.sdf.org) which use the google engine, but don’t give data to Google and don’t have the filter bubble, no logs, no ads, no tracking. For relevant results, the best is Andi (https://andisearch.com), it use AI to search the results which you give him in something like a chat. It’s still very new and in alpha, but works fine. Strict privacy focused, no ads, no tracking, no logging and offers also reader view in pages which soport it. Made by Austrian IT specialists.
