Duckduckgo just did that to me! I was not expecting them to hitch a ride on the bandwagon. Makes me sad.
Your comment reminded me:
I was looking up when the VP debate is in the US, lamenting the olden days when a bolded date would simply appear at the top of the results.
I'm just clicking results and skimming for the date in the 1st paragraph, but nope. Every site is like fucking recipe pages now with this nonsense filler.
Anyways, third result down, DDG gives me this verbose MSN bot-written trash. It actually listed all the dates (of which there were four), that were considered for the debate, but not selected. The 5th date listed in the paragraph was the debate date.
It was a perfect example of completely useless information that a human would never consider including in an answer.
You've never asked my mum a question.
Yes! Search results used to just be the answer, and then each result further done would be slightly off. Now it's all a mess.
