Agreed. And in a way, it is also a contributing factor to how polarizing internet-based discussion has become. Rather than show you the most cited websites for answering a political question, it's going to use its profile of "you" to show you something you're more likely to engage with.
Yeah, it's a massive issue with Google. It just doesn't serve the content you need anymore, and rather shows what it thinks you'll want.
Google is great at finding products. DuckDuckGo isn't perfect either, but it's better at neutral information than Google.
