    People aren’t comparing it to alternatives, they’re comparing it to Google 5-10 years ago.

    Google used to be astoundingly good at figuring out what it was you wanted, and finding out for you. Now there’s a lot more SEO garbage and meaningless fluff clogging every results page, and if your search could even remotely be related to buying something, it’s only products and ads.
