@arstechnica good now to steal a phrase of my enemies: Make Search Great Again.
@arstechnica When I travel, I like to look for small independently run places like B&Bs. Impossible to find on Google.
@arstechnica I had no idea Google search results could be any more degraded than they already are.

@arstechnica All their tracking and targeting has never resulted in the "better user experience" they kept promising. So I think we can safely take this for what it is, an empty statement.
They don't know how to improve search results. 🥴
