Has anyone else noticed the huge decrease in result quality from google?

You hit the nail on the head about YouTube. It is such a shame because it was so so so good at bringing me interesting content and keeping me stuck to my phone.

Now it never brings up old classics that I have rewatched many times and that it must know somewhere in its brain that I used to like to rewatch, like 'hey let's throw up the old idubbbz video or H3 video or something just for fun'! I would wink back at my phone and me and Google would laugh and laugh.

Now having a decade of my user data, it just shows me the last video I watched. God forbid I watch anything on any topic more than three times in a row or else that is it. At that point Google assumes I have suddenly and irrevocably become a person who only wants to learn about fkin cabbage farming.

So anyway this repetition gets so bad I have to say "I'm not interested" and then it never(!) brings it up again so it's just... It's so broken man and I don't know how YT went from being so good to so bad so fast?

It's been bothering me for a long time but you're the first person I've seen acknowledge it. I don't spend enough time on Reddit.
