The specific problem I'm referring to isn't even controversial stuff. It's basic shit like looking up how to do a DIY repair on your car or whatever. The search results are orders of magnitude worse than they use to be.
It's because Google provides the ads on these shitty websites. Google has a vested interest in not deranking shitty websites with a billion ads and poorly written articles that are only written specifically to game the search algorithm.
It's not only google though. You can try this with Bing, Yahoo, any of tem really. You won't be finding the same stuff you did a lot of years ago. As I said before: Internet's dead and buried, the ones who did it are high up in google's heiarchy. There's this dead internet theory going about but I don't think people were expecting it to be proven this way. Seriously, for everyone: try searching yourself even if it's something mundane(like lettuce for example) and go back multiple pages on google. Not only will you see pages just repeat but you'll also see a sudden end with lettuce as an example (297.000.000 hits) going down quickly.
It's not just Google, but Google is the company that is most poised to stop it on their platform. They are completely capable. I'm pretty sure they've actually reverted algorithm improvements that stopped this type of aggressive SEO.
