The part that really enrages me is that i’m often explicitly looking for things to buy. Very specific parts. SEO is failing at even showing me shit i literally want to spend money on. I wish to beat someone with a chair.
Dogpile and startpage are great for technical
data, fic and projects, but not so much for goods. DDG has been completely munged by the engines it feeds off and google doesnt show you what you search for, it shows you what it thinks is the closest match in its advertising network. And it is wrong as hell. Even fucking ebay’s exclusion booleans are broken now
unless I go direct to a website I know or a gov site, or wiki it’s become completely useless
it’s really sad
