Stop trying to deflect blame from Google. They go out of their way to show garbage. They sacrifice their search results as much as they can get away with, in order to show more ads. Reddit does not do this nearly to the degree as Google. It’s not even close. There are ways to filter through the noise, it just doesn’t involve companies with financial conflicts of interest.


>They go out of their way to show garbage.

Citation needed. Searching "index funds vs etf" on Bing gives ads for the first five results, while Google shows a card thing and organic results.

If you're going to accuse them of deflecting, at least show evidence that it's not just the whole internet.


Look around at this thread for evidence. Targeted searching on other platforms that rank results based on votes from small communities yields much more relevant and trustworthy results.

Try searching for "financial advisor" on Google. I did it on my phone, and the only thing on my screen is ads.
