    Unrealistic. I usually have to scroll way down in the results to find a link to wikipedia nowadays.

      So true. If I want to know how old a celebrity is, first result is something about their latest work that doesn’t mention age, and then the next 3-4 are usually some ranking articles, “top 10 ceberities you didn’t know were 50,” and then Wikipedia comes in with the answer.

    It does seem like the ideology of those inside google went from “tech” , to “I know better than you do”. Not sure it’s fixable really…

      That’s the problem with most tech these days. They assume they know the best way to do something or know better than you. Its infuriating

        It’s about minimizing the annoyance for the majority of users who will misspell some popular thing.

        Also, I believe that showing actually interesting content is bad for the businesses because it might make the user stop to think and pursue something meaningful instead of continuing to use the product.

        Spotify is a prime example of this. There are so many “features” I hate and that no one has asked for, yet shuffle doesn’t even work.

        Everytime I start spotify in ny office after listening on my commute, it tries to start playing on my phone since that was playing in my car.

        Or when I was still there, Reddit search. Absolutely useless and so fucking smarmy with that stupid doge.
