Can't wait for my search results to be filled by high SEO ranking pages with no actual solutions to my questions! Oh, wait... That's how it already is.

Jokes aside, more often than not I catch myself adding "reddit" "hackernews" "stackoverflow" to my queries because the results would be otherwise filled with marketing, SEO-engineered websites that only want to sell you some crappy software or get you to download some malware-infested files. But hey, they make Google happy, so they must be good.
