basically anytime I google anything the top result is usually machine created garbage and it takes several paragraphs of repetitive text with zero relevant content to realize, oh wait, I'm reading a fake blog post on the subject. This happens once a day and so combing through google search results to find something legitimate is becoming more and more of a hassle.

in reply to @hellojed's post:
for the longest time I thought "Google search is getting worse" was one of those confirmation bias based meme things, but over the past couple of months I've finally started to notice it. It really is becoming quite annoying now.
if it helps, there are search engines that try to cut through the seo spam cruft. such as https://search.marginalia.nu/ and http://teclis.com/
oh i love marginalia, but i forgot the name, so thanks for reminding me
A workaround I do when searching is that i put "before:2017" or 18 at the end of my search queues so I can get authentic results.
