google was better years ago. Google search quality regressed. id pay for the old google search.



What specifically is better than Google today?


The google algorithm from about 15 years ago.

I think the code is still running, just not publicly. Give me access to that!


> The google algorithm from about 15 years ago.

I doubt this is true given how the content on the web has changed.

It is fun to be nostalgic though!


No, I believe it is true because it’s harder to find what I was looking for and it’s clear that the algorithm is skewed for political reasons and likely also economic reasons.


> I believe it is true because it’s harder to find what I was looking for

Yes, because there’s more stuff and different stuff than there used to be.

What makes you so sure the old algorithm would’ve worked as well with more and different stuff to sift through? Other than the fact that you really want to believe it.

> it’s clear that the algorithm is skewed for political reasons and likely also economic reasons

Bud, it’s a business. This has always been true.
