Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad? (lemmy.ml)

So ddg is down, so I visit Google. It's been some years.

I just can't believe how poor it's results are, and how it's trying to suggest things it think I might also want (and failing miserably).

I just assumed ddg would be the lesser, but I use it for privacy. Turns out I'm wrong.

Feels like about 6 months or so? If I do an image search it only seems to pull items linking to a retail site. Everything is about sales and I can't find information.
