If it's affecting your mental health, I highly recommend avoiding this side of social media and focusing on your needs. Don't let the world drag you down with it.
I mean Google becoming crappy is not something you can easily avoid. I have a medical procedure happening soon and I literally couldn't find any non-corporate listicle on Google or bing. I ended up having to use mojeek to read stuff written by actual people.
TIL about Mojeek. I know this wasn't the focus of your reply, but thanks for the tip.
:) No worries. I'm having more luck with search when using mojeek, startpage or duckduckgo.
Check out Kagi.com if you're interested in a new approach to search and are willing to put a bit of money towards it.
I've read quite a lot of positive things about kagi. Unfortunately the query/price is too high to be affordable to me right now.
I need to know
It won't affect your daily life, and if it does end up doing so, you can't really have done much about it. Better to enjoy life. Go have coffee with a friend, find something to enjoy each day. Take a weekend road trip or camping trip and enjoy somewhere.
"I have to be interested in politics, because it won't stop being interested in me." As they say, if I know it's coming, I can prepare for it
