I don't believe this (yet) and here's why.

The claim is that Google search is producing worse results than in the past. The analysis is mostly anecdotal, and similar claims have been made before in a more concrete way. A prime example is "time to cook onions" giving incorrect results, covered in this slate article: https://slate.com/human-interest/2012/05/how-to-cook-onions-...

What we need is to see is specific queries, the results returned, why they're wrong, and what they should be instead.




Some folks should post comparisons between Google and other sites such as:

* https://bing.com

* https://duckduckgo.com

* https://you.com

Maybe use the categories mentioned in the twitter thread such as health, travel, recipes, product reviews, etc.
