    For what it’s worth I’m not saying that - it’s just a common argument I’ve seen online lately in these spaces. I don’t actually know if it’s true because I don’t use Google Search.

      Despite the anecdotal N=1 example, which of course can’t be reproduced and corroborated because the OP felt the need to omit the search query they used for some reason, Google results have generally been garbage for years — yes, to an extent that it becomes useless.

      Hell, one of the suggestions for “google results” on Google itself is “google results are getting worse”, with lots of articles explaining why when you search it.
