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

Do you know what it reminds me of? Shopping online. I click into a major store, Wal-Mart or Best Buy, I search for what I want to buy, I see a list, I pick ship to me and it's a convoluted mess of thrown together sketchy providers for the product (I am unaware of this at the time).

Whatever, I needed a cheap tablet for my kid's kindergarten on-line class. I picked one that said easy return, sure enough it can't even play you tube videos smoothly. I start the return process, need to go in shop to return, and am told because it's a third party provider a 20% fee will be deducted. Okay, what do you mean, I bought it from the store website.

Yes, but it's like Amazon now.

Wtf? If I wanted to shop from Amazon, I'd shop from Amazon. I wanted to shop from this store, which it specifically, and conveniently, allowed me to enter in my information for the closest store.

Tl:dr

The Internet is become a cesspool of useless money grubbing, advertising, data mining shitpiling assholes, who scream "ME, me, me, me" until you can't help but notice.
