For the past few years, a growing number of users, analysts, and experts raised alarms about a truth that feels obvious to a lot of people who surf around in web browsers: the quality of Google results is in serious decline. Google disagrees.

Google search results suck and I've actually heard regular people mention it. They just either don't know how to switch search engines or they think Bing search sucks.

Or they still think they are entitled to a "free" search engine and don't see the amount of resources needed for that and that it's actually a service worth paying for, either through a subscription or through a donation-based service.

Switching one private company for another is definitely not the way to go...

Or they're working class or buried in medical bills and can't afford to be spending money on things like search engines that have a free alternative, even if it is worse.

I'm not actually convinced the alternatives are any better here, anyway.
