A Reddit user posted a question that sparked a discussion about Google and its searching algorithm being worse in recent years as compared to the past. Twitter users also participated in this discussion on their own platform and the majority seemed to agree that Google's algorithm has worsened over the years. Many users agreed with this opinion that the Google search engine shows more irrelevant stuff rather than the appropriate chunks of knowledge that the user was not searching for. However, many of them agreed that Google beats DuckDuckGo and Bing search engines. But this doesn't mean that Google is good, it just means the other ones are worse.
Google is not actually delivering the content people are looking for with more accuracy than it should.
The question arises, is the Google search providing us the information we really want? Well, according to the masses, Google's main problem as a search engine circulates mainly around bad user experience. When users search for solving queries and information about a certain topic, the top-ranking sites on Google seem to display advertisements and bad product reviews. This is really annoying when a person isn't looking to buy the product but wants to know more about it. You will even find that sometimes, the information about the product is simply not there, and instead, the sites that appear on the results will direct you to Google ads and sponsored reviews with discounts offers.
Alongside this, the users also aren't presented with relevant information in the beginning. This is really annoying and the types of websites that do this are placed at the top of the search results which further pushes the issue of bad user experience regarding Google's Search Algorithm. Google makes money by displaying advertisements based on users’ interest. That means upon searching for a trending app or a tasty recipe or info about a disease, the user sees the ads first and then the relevant content. This is such a simple example of a bad user experience provided by Google's algorithm.
It's annoying when you search for information about a product on Google and instead of getting worthwhile information related to it, you get Amazon and eBay links urging you to just buy it. This happens too often to the point it's making users wonder what even is the point of the shopping tab when you can just get links directly from the main search.
Another thing is, that Google does not verify the information related to medical issues, nutrition, haircare, skincare, and other issues, whether the websites are inclined with the authentic platforms and scientific journals. Almost everywhere in the world, people are provided with an endless array of compromised, unauthentic, and spam content on the internet.
Reddit and Twitter users are debating about what is the real cause of all this irrelevant and un educational search results that are being shown as top results on Google when other better sources and more informative sites are available. Some users are blaming Google's algorithm and some blame the content publishers who don't put effort and consider the time of the user when posting their content on Google.
It is rumored in a few communities that Google favors content filled with more words which prompts content writers to publish content with more irrelevant and unnecessary information resulting in a bad user experience.
In the end, users are in an argument that whether Google's algorithm is to blame for the badly optimized content or whether the content itself is poorly written and contains irrelevant information.
