minus-squareGot_Bent@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·1 year agoWhoa. I did a search that would inevitably bring nothing but sponsored bullshit on Google - “best tires” My results were cartalk, consumer reports, cnet, and the consumer insider.

minus-squareR0cket_M00se@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 year agoThat’s the biggest problem, can’t even get straight data and ads separately. Now the articles are the ads, and SEO/adspace has made search results even less useful.
