Same! And lemmy has provided the highest quality answers on the internet in my opinion.
Due to how important search is, it is not a stable solution to place the trust of the technology, your data privacy, and fair pricing to a corporation. Kagi so far seems great don’t get me wrong! But enshitification from monetary incentives almost always occur. Open source search is the only stable long term solution.
Conflict of interest is the best explanation. The goal of search engine companies is not to provide information as efficiently as possible but rather something else entirely.
A lack of competition is another factor as well with the monopolization of Google, Microsoft, etc. There may exist better search engines, but the average joe, and even some of us, have trouble finding them. The quality search engines don’t get a chance to expand and or are bought out like with Altavista (Regarded as the best search engines from the golden age). For example, crowdview.ai is the best search engine (outside of kagi from what I’ve heard) but I’m unsure if they will be able to stay afloat for a long enough time to get a chance to expand and take shots at Google.
The enshitification has been a gradual process. Think of it as slowly boiling a frog. I’ve observed the quality of search slowly degrading over the past 2 decades. Just recently, it has gotten to such a severe point that searching has been useless.
I found the original GPT-4 to be great at technical search questions! Though unfortunately the quality has been getting worse ever since.
Wiby is great! I love using it to discover sites. It’s very similar to spirit of search engines from the early internet. Though it’s not a general search engine it has its specialized uses so I thought I’d mention it
Thanks! Search results have recently been so bad that I found Yandex sometimes offers better results than Duckduckgo/Google/Bing etc. It’s quite sad actually
Thanks for the further detail!
There was a response I left in the main comment thread but I’m not sure if you will get the notification. I wanted to post it again so you see it

Please feel free to ask any questions! Math is a wonderful field full of beauty but unfortunately almost all education systems fail to show this and instead makes it seem like raw robotic calculations instead of creativity.
Math is best learned visually and with context to more abstract terms. 3Blue1Brown is the best resource in my opinion for this!
Here’s a mindblowing fact for you along with a video from 3Blue1Brown. Imagine you are sliding a 1,000,000 kg box and slamming it into a 1 kg box on an ice surface with no friction. The 1 kg box hits a wall and bounces back to hit the 1,000,000 kg box again.
The number of bounces that appear is the digits of Pi. Crazy right? Why would pi appear here? If you want to learn more here’s a video from the best math teacher in the world.

Wow thank you!
Thank you mods for your work! I’m loving these communities!
Glad you are enjoying it! Please feel free to share any other channels like Computerphile, Numberphile, Mutual Information, & Veritasium. It’s difficult to find gems nowadays on YT.
Thanks for the comment! It is cool and also pretty aesthetically pleasing!
Thanks for sharing! (No worries, changed the title from “fact” to “thing” to be a bit more broad)
No problem! Glad you found it useful!
Yeah lol. Search engines have gone down in quality so bad it really does feel like that. It has been so difficult finding stuff on google/duckduckgo etc that I have to rely on portals now.
Thank you all for your answers!
I wanted to add one resource I found that has helped me find even more relevant search results:

Amazing! Thank you for the tips and taking the time to write this!
