Look, the long and short of it is that they skew results based on what they think. Their algorithm is made by a predominantly leftist group that wants to control the narrative, at least to some degree. I get the need to filter based on some criteria, otherwise every search would come back with mostly porn, but  we need to allow for free political expression and meritocratic search results. Even if we just look at this from a consumer perspective, they can inflate or deflate critical reviews or limit exposure to different products. I just want a neutral platform so I don't have to spend a half hour searching for something that should be on the first page.

Why did you ignore that you could create your own search engine? Even if you're not willing to do that there are lots of other search engines you could use instead of Google that already exist.

Why do you think Google needs to change when market forces seem to be reinforcing that they want what Google currently is and there are alternatives readily available?
