When people say that Google Search is broken because the internet changed and it’s not google fault, I point them to YouTube search.

With YouTube, Google has full control of the platform and its data, there is no excuse for why the search is so useless.

I bet there is some product owner in Google that did some A/B test and took as “proof” that adding random recommendation in the search results increases engagement, and then got a promotion and a raise because of that.
