To be fair, they kind of have to pivot from search at this point. More and more people are using alternative ways to find information. That cash cow is dying.

Read Ed Zitron’s work on google search. It’s dying because they killed it.

I think they did more - I vaguely remember them admitting they messed up the search result on purpose so the user will run more queries and will see even more ads.
