MODERATORS
Sure, I completely that it has declined significantly. I think the comments in this thread about it "sucking cock", being "just ads and SEO crap", or a "bloated, shit site" are hyperbole though. It is still the best search engine for most use-cases and queries, including finding answers to "how do I do X" type questions. I use DuckDuckGo (AKA Bing) but only because it gets close enough to Google's results to be a superior choice for me overall when I take into account its massive privacy advantages. In terms of results, there is still enough of a gap that I will occasionally need to rely on Google's results for particular queries. I actually used to use StartPage for this exact reason and only switched because it had issues with VPNs.
