The SEO marketers gaming their way to the top of every Google search result might as well be robots. Everything is commercialized. Someone’s always trying to sell you something. Whether they’re a bot or human, they are decidedly fake.
So how can we regain authenticity? What if you want to know what a genuine real life human being thinks about the latest Lenovo laptop?
You append “reddit" to your query (or hacker news, or stack overflow, or some other community you trust).
Google is dead.
Long live Google + “site:reddit.com”.

This reflects what I've felt for a while now. Google totally ignores what you search for half the time, and instead returns results for what it thinks you should have searched for, ignoring half the terms in your query. Or it shows you a page of sponsored links with maybe one or two organic results at the bottom.
They really are squeezing every last cent out of advertising revenue right now, as if they don't make enough money already.
