I posted around 3 years ago how Google search results had become extremely unreliable. Searching for thugs like “Reddit best hand mixer” and setting the date filter to be for example “last year” would give me results from 8 years ago. This wasn’t exclusive to Reddit. Plus this used to work perfectly fine around 4 years ago. I remember when it stopped working.

Also programming related searches have now started giving me results of random shady websites which are copying results from stackoverflow and Google puts them at the top for some reason.
