Yes, exactly -- Google is the new Yahoo.
It's no longer about training a great algorithm to find great results -- but hand-selecting the most anodyne, least interesting results for everything using a small army of human and AI reviewers.
Not to mention how it ignores half of your query terms for no appreciable reason.
The ultimate irony now is that Google's ads are usually more relevant than their organic search results -- because they actually care about the ad experience.
What? Malware ads masquerading as legitimate websites are common and Google hasn't visibly done much to combat them.
