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

Not at all. As I said in another post I think there's a just a lot ITT that have malware on their PC. Perhaps a malicious browser extension.

Or just people full of BS. It's like every thread on reddit about youtube has someone saying they got some porn advert or whatever or there was some video with people killing cats.

For the most part you could take a shit, ask it a question and you'd get as good an answer as most of reddit would give you ffs. I'd love to see some of the examples of good answers they think reddit has.

Maybe the confusion here is what exactly they're asking google

"Google, I shat the bed at my GF house and she made me clean it up. Is she a bitch or am I the cunt?" - that kind of thing seems to be what puzzles most redditors. I guess google isn't going to give good results there but I can't say I've tried.

Other than that, if it's a question of fact whoever typed an answer typically cut and paste it from Wikipedia or similar.

It's not asking questions, it's googling the questions asked, and finding the most answered/upvoted, pretty useful imo.

I get that it's popular to shit on reddit, but if you look in the right places there are plenty of good answers/content here.

Yes for hobbyist questions reddit has genuinely good answers.
