    I’m the last person to defend Google, but I’ll address some of the allegations mentioned in the post:

    1. I nowadays mostly search on my phone looking for quick answers so those instant anwers (if accurate) right there in the search results are what I expect. Sorry. If I want to dive into the subject and make a proper research on a subject then I might visit yours and other sites.

    2. Ads / sponsored results have always been part of Google - that’s pretty obvious. I despise ads, I refuse to see them, I think everone should use adblockers. If they don’t, that’s their problem

    3. Reddit is showing up in the results a lot because Google search in general got shitty and people started adding the word “reddit” to their search phrase. I myself too prefer search results from reddit because they simply answer my questions that other websites wouldn’t.
