    The craziest part is that when I use Google search to search for a service, that’s when I have the most trouble. Like many tech problems here on Lemmy (was similar on Reddit too), I find the outrage to be a bit overblown, but holy shit, if I want to find some kind of service where I want to exchange my money for something, Google fails me almost every time.

      Yeah. When I’m looking for information on how something works or a problem I need to solve (which usually ends up with a Wikipedia or Reddit result being what I need) it’s usually one of the first three (non sponsored) results. But if I’m looking for a new light weight breathable rain coat? Awful experience
