To me it's worrying because it is where Google was when I jumped ship for DDG.

I am getting tailored results that I do not want. Everything I search even with location off gives me local to very local responses.

If I open a link and then go back to the results page all the results have changed order.

Makes sense. I can't blame you for taking that position. I think we need a paid search engine: if you're not paying you're the product, after all.
