    Google has been bad for a long time, but they’ve shut the bed so hard lately. Seriously, look at this:

    I actually run out of screenshot space before I can get to an actual regular search result!

      Search done from Germany.

      The mobile search doesnt look much different. The order on mobile is as follows:

      • A snippet from glogs.wordlbank.org
      • People also ask
      • Forbes article (see screenshot above)
      • www.epa.gov article

      Both are Firefox Desktop (Win) and Mobile (Android) running Consent-O-Matic and ublock Origin

              Well, Flint, Michigan had a high profile water issue, so it might be guessing location based on the question.

      Bing has the a similar problem where it just repeats the results, some pages are only 1 result so you just keep clicking next
