Google is now in 2025 a piece of shit.
It's 100% serving their advertisers pages.
Plus shitty AI summaries optimized for advertisers.
Except the search is something very special programming
related.
I searched "Waesserhaegl" a 90s metal band and the first
3 pages showed me "Wasserhahn" (Water tap) compainies that
sell "Wasserhans"...

it's a complete fuckup, nothing like 20-25 years ago.

ciao
