I haven't used Google search for years. It's almost totally irrelevant at this point and existing on pure inertia.

I'm aware that most people still use it, but it's nothing like the glory days when Google was far ahead of the pack.

Hmm, perhaps should switch fields and become a factologist

I haven't used google search as my default search engine in YEARS. DDG is good enough for 99% of my searches. Same with Google Chrome. Stop giving evil companies your traffic and attention.

of course; ever since ChatGPT first launched it was clear this is what Google would do to its search

good luck getting visits to your site unless you're paying for AI placement
