    You search for anything slightly niche, everything past page one is just rubbish. It’s especially jarring when searching for something programming related and 80% of the results are auto-generated stuff scraped from Stack overflow. It reminds me of Amazon where you search for a product and almost all results are chinese-made clones of what you are looking with randomly generated names.

      This is a big factor as to why I shop at Amazon much, much less nowadays. Can’t find anything reputable outside of major brands, just feels like a market for dropshipped items

      Things weren’t anywhere near this bad a decade ago 😒
