I too feel google results gave been getting worse in the past 6 years. It's hard to describe, but it feels like the internet is somehow getting smaller.
But duck duck go results are still noticeably worse, sadly.
I have the same combined experience of you two posters - DDG is worse than Google and Google is worse unless you start liberally using quotes, which I have switched to doing (and I actually would argue use of these delimiters has improved Google experience).
Yeah, definitely, trying to find actual torrent sites now amounts to adding "magnet" "btih" to your query or you get a bunch of junk spam sites filled with malware.
