Google’s results have been getting worse over time, but it seems like the last couple years, they’ve taken a steep nose-dive, completely overrun with crappy content farming.

I’ve mitigated a lot of that by doing searches for any kind of product comparison or technical question with “site:reddit.com”, but now with the possibility that that trick will become less useful over time as well…?

Yeah. What search engines are other tech folks using?

    Just simple searches like “Best gaming headphones”

    Does this actually yield useful results? I’ve seen this several times in reference to Kagi, even iirc in their own docs, and my gut reaction has always been “surely no one ever searches for ‘best X’, that’s a surefire way to get your time extremely wasted”
