It's also harder because search engines have been rendered almost useless by optimization. It's so hard to find anything now. Youtube only shows you like five results you searched for before they switch to the useless "for you" category, which are just unrelated videos you've seen before.
I just like the feeling of nostalgia of sitting at a search box like I'm in high school again using the internet for the first time.
What weird word combinations can I put in this box, and what freaky stuff am I going to find? I guess the new version of this is AI generated content, but that's not usually nearly as interesting to me.
It's not even AI content that gets me, it's that every search I do returns pages and pages of links to related product ads. Looking for information? Too bad, only buying allowed
I miss when i was able to type like half of a thought into google and it'd find exactly what I wanted. That was like 10 years ago
