    Yeah, no kidding. Google’s been getting lazy with its search results. The first dozen hits on most Google searches are either YouTube or Reddit results.

        Oh so it’s not only me. 15 minutes of video, 3 ads, to get some information that I cannot copy paste with distractions and entertainment, when all I was looking for was the equivalent of half A4 page of text.

        I don’t blame the creators, to be clear, but I blame who created the economical conditions that made this happen.
