Well, "their take on relevance" isn't neutral. So, I will use your own words to defend my last statement.

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?

That's the defacto libertarian argument, and it's a complete oversimplification of the markets. In a free market, I think you would have a better case, but we don't have that anymore. I did switch to Duck Duck Go, but I have noticed their algorithms are changing as of late. More and more spying seems to be getting through, but it might not have anything to do with the browser. Looking for a different one if you know of one.

I don't think I could recommend a different search engine because Google and Bing work fine for my uses. What is it you're searching that you're noticing a problem getting the results you expect?

I Googled “hot womens” and it shows me pictures of men wearing makeup. That ain’t right.

Try to find studies that support a position on the right. Sometimes I can know the exact search terms and have to get to the 2nd or 3rd page before finding what I want.

Let me know the next time you have an example of that.
