It all of a sudden became TERRIBLE and now I can't find anything? When did this happen? Why did this happen?

Google has really gone down hill to the point I can no longer find obscure searches anymore. Even youtube searches sorting by new has gone downhill to the point that most of the results are youtube shorts with half of them having multiple hashtags in the title.

I REALLY wish there was a way to exclude shorts from YouTube results entirely.

I've found myself using DDG and Bing (fucking BING!) more than google lately.

Google going downhill led to me using DuckDuckGo 100% of the time. Before it was just too difficult to search for programming-related errors and stuff on anything but Google but that’s no longer true.

Search operators for YouTube might help with that
