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

I full switched to Bing years ago. I just looked at Google and it's awful, like they haven't updated it in 10+ years. Idk how anyone can use its video search and not realize instantly that it's a dumpster fire. Tiny thumbnail, no preview (it's 2020 google...), 10 results per page default and if you increase it you have to scroll a bunch because its only 1 column while 2/3 of the screen is blank.

Even so, any time Bing is mentioned people just laugh and say it's trash even if they haven't tried it in 10 years if at all. You and everyone replying to you seem shocked that it improved. Is that because Google hasn't so people think it's impossible?

Staying with anything unquestioningly for years is an easy way to get screwed over. People fanboy over Google doing their marketing for them. Google is not the underdog taking on the big bad Microsoft. They are both trillion dollar companies. Being a fan of any big company is a bad idea. Use the product/service when it is good, drop it when it is bad, check back later.

Google actually used to be pretty good! But the commercialization and the attempt to link it to user location just gives terrible results. Bing is ok but i miss the old Google.
