Is it just me or do all search engines feel soooo bad these days? (self.technology)

I suspect that this is the direct result of AI generated content just overwhelming any real content.

I tried ddg, google, bing, quant, and none of them really help me find information I want these days.

Perplexity seems to work but I don't like the idea of AI giving me "facts" since they are mostly based on other AI posts

ETA: someone suggested SearXNG and after using it a bit it seems to be much better compared to ddg and the rest.

R34 is also short for rule 34 - "if it exists, there's porn of it on the internet"

So if you search R34 and anything, you'll get porn.

I was very worried about zooming in on this expecting something bad. My innocence is lost… wait no I never had any. My bad.
