Dude, I switched from Google for the first time in my life a couple months ago because I couldn't take it anymore.

The fact that google has a built-in graphing calculator just isn't worth it.

I won't forget this, actually: I was looking up what to do next in a game I was playing—very deliberately, I care a lot about spoilers—and the "people also ask" section implied, for no reason, this had nothing to do with what I wanted to know, that a character who died really early on apparently has things to say in chapter 9.

Ok. You can't really avoid spoilers on the Internet though. That's kind of common knowledge

I do. I'm a professional.

That stupid answers thing only got me once, maybe twice, because I don't let it anymore.

This kind of thing is a lot easier to control, though, when your results are what you wanted and not what you didn't.
