the example I like to show people is searching "how to fix a leaky faucet"
Kagi shows helpful answers and videos from sites like This Old House.
Google shows ads for plumbers near me. If I had wanted a plumber, I would've searched for that.
I'm not sure why my personal results are often so much better than posts like this one whenever I do the experiment - maybe it's based on location?
I am in the US, if that matters.
If I search "plumber" the first 3 results are ads.
I'm in Australia.

JFC.
This illustrates one of my biggest complaints about current Google (which has been the case for sometime):
They make their software behave as though they know what I (you) want, better than I do (you do).
So they give you the results they think you need, rather than those you really want.
Infuriating squared.
And idiots cubed.
Correction: I should say, their stupid machine learning algorithms think you need.
