If it's affecting your mental health, I highly recommend avoiding this side of social media and focusing on your needs. Don't let the world drag you down with it.

I mean Google becoming crappy is not something you can easily avoid. I have a medical procedure happening soon and I literally couldn't find any non-corporate listicle on Google or bing. I ended up having to use mojeek to read stuff written by actual people.

TIL about Mojeek. I know this wasn't the focus of your reply, but thanks for the tip.

:) No worries. I'm having more luck with search when using mojeek, startpage or duckduckgo.

Check out Kagi.com if you're interested in a new approach to search and are willing to put a bit of money towards it.

I've read quite a lot of positive things about kagi. Unfortunately the query/price is too high to be affordable to me right now.
