Did you know New Survey Shows that Most of the Users Feel that Google’s Search Results Quality has Deteriorated
According to a new survey of 2,000 US adults by Vox Media/TheVerge,
42% of the respondents feel that Google search is becoming useless. 53%
of the millennials and 61% of the Gen-Z reported using AI tools for
searching because traditional search engines like Google do not give
them their desirable results. Google’s market share has dropped below 90% for the first time since 2015 and
one of the reasons is that most users aren't preferring Google search
for their queries. Most users say that they aren't liking the search
quality on Google, so they are preferring to ask their queries on AI
chatbots or searching social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and
Pinterest.
76% of the respondents said that when they search on
Google, more than a quarter of the results are promoted or sponsored
and only 14% of them said that those results are helpful. 55% said that
they prefer getting information more from their community than Google
search, because it never gives quality information, while 52% said that
they are using alternative search engines and AI chatbots for getting
information. 66% of the respondents said that Google's quality has
decreased a lot and that's why they are unable to find reliable sources
there.
