So I'm in the bathroom bored, doing business, and type into Google, "I'm pooping amuse me." I get back a bunch of Webmd type pages about pooping. About the fourth item down is diarrhea in women and almost every recommended page following is about women's health. I search, "Amuse Me," and get some hits for a ride and then a bunch of hits about tv shows with women as the main cast.
I type in, "I'm a man," and get a bunch of Spencer Davis group returns, fair enough. But I also got a hit on a Michelle Branch activist song, about the plight of women.
When did search engines become all about chick stuff?
About 2019 apparently is when google search stopped being useful. Nothing nefarious just normal bullshit. There's a decent summary blog I remember reading from a guy who used to work there, IIRC basically the marketing division got a bit more power within google and used it to affect search results, essentially reducing the effectiveness of search so people would have to search again, for double the ad impressions. It made more money so naturally the process grew.
But that's why the first page of Google is now 10 different pages of the same "authoritative" website and "search within results" is no longer a feature.
