So it's not just me that thinks Google lost the war to spammers?

I limit my searches to com,org,net,io domains and the first pages are still full of spam.

The UI is race-to-the-bottom terrible.

Choosing "verbatim" takes 3 mouse clicks FFS!

Google is becoming only useful with esoteric knowledge. E.g. you need to append site:stackexchange for the search to be useful.
