I’m finding the results are not helpful as they used to be and sometimes way past the topic I’m searching. This is very prevalent when I’m searching for pirate sites. I’m falling back to Searxng whenever this occurs.
Has anyone noticed it too? Has DDG upped their moderation?
In general, I noticed that a significant degradation of search engines began to occur after the appearance of chatGPT, perhaps this is somehow related. Before that, degradation was slower. Maybe in Google for example they were a little afraid that ChatGPT would learn from their search engines and replace them…
I also noticed redoing a search sometimes yields different results despite using the exact same keywords.
I also noticed a change. From one day to the next I suddenly got lots of reddit links in the top results
websearch enshittification hits me extra hard because I was always bad at searching. please keep me in your thoughts.
