Alternate title: Google admits Reddit protests make it harder to find helpful search results

Google as a search engine is more or less dead. I was only really using Google to search reddit. Now that I’m done with reddit… There goes Google.

Google removing the “do no evil” from their ethos was a very clear indication of the direction they were heading.

“Don’t be evil” is still in Google’s Code of Conduct, it’s just been at the end of the document rather than the start since 2018.

Google did evil shit before and after the change, it’s not quite the big deal that some people make it out to be!

What’s your preferred alternative? I use DuckDuckGo, and it’s… OK. I still often switch over to Google when I’m having a hard time finding relevant results on DDG.
