Comment on Over the past ~20 years, Google became the de facto entry point for learning new skills and information. Google also sucks now. This is a really big problem.

At this point I am wondering if I should pay for one of those $30/month search engines just to be sure they won’t put ads and promote AI.

Problem is that experience tells me subscription model products always go worse over time.

There are only 2 relevant web crawlers that everyone inferences either directly or indirectly. Every is going through Google or Microsoft. These are not providing deterministic results. It is quite likely that there is no such thing as private results. If two people using two separate devices can get different results for the same query, there is no freedom of information and democracy is dead. Paying and privateer overlord to make the fascist system more palpable is pointless.
