Summary:

In the video, Mrwhosetheboss argues that Google Search has become worse. He believes that Google has prioritized sponsored links and shopping ads over organic search results. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the information you are looking for on Google. He also criticizes Google for its use of generative AI, which he believes is not accurate and could eventually replace the need to visit other websites.

Some would counter that 3rd parties have been manipulating google search results, and that is true, but it overlooks the fact that Google is largely responsible for incentivizing that kind of behavior. Google is an advertising company that has a search engine and they pay sites to host their ads because on site traffic so those sites in turn try to manipulate google search results to increase their traffic.
