My late commentary: honestly I kinda agree with the teens that using Google for research is a pain. IDK but I feel like there's some glut of irrelevancy that has been creeping up there with bad info driving out good in the search results. Increasingly it feels like a weird yet quite powerful Unix tool, controlled with a text string and adjusting a lot based on the results. I hope better stuff comes along.
More and more if I'm searching for help with anything I just use google but limited to site:reddit.com because that's the only way to find actual help topics any more instead of just fucking ads and blogspam
