I feel like the problem mentioned is like a drop in the ocean compared to the enshitification of Google as a whole. Google has been almost unusable even if this didn’t happen.

Google, sadly, is truely dead.

I moved on to Duckduckgo, because the results really aren't worse. Aren't better either though.

I find them better. Most of the time. Google is needed every now and then.

DuckDuckGo gets to the point and skips the seo stuff.. Mostly.

Although at this point search is nearly useless no matter what you use.

How do you think DDG 'skips the SEO stuff'? They don't have their own index, they are a meta search engine and the indices they rely on are subject to SEO efforts of the various pages

Kagi is also super good but it's paid.

Google's control over the internet will harm all users as they scram further to find places where profit can be squeezed more and more until they're functionally bankrupt.

not just internet, they are going to prevent android users from installing any programs they dont approve first. So most likely goodbye f-droid and any opensource program
