Google is great if you want to buy things. It's absolutely shit for information gathering.
It used to be great for information if you included reddit in the search terms. Instead of google learning from reddit, reddit is now full of ads and bots. I guess google apps will be complete garbage soon too.
I remember a time when you didn't even have to include Reddit to get good Google search results.
I remember a time when yahoo search was by categories.
