In the case of YouTube, only after a few results they become completely unrelated to my search.

    Yes. I have regularly been using DDG, but would wind up using google sometimes anyway. Now I’m actively forced to use other engines because google is now a monetized results server and will return zero or no relevant results in favor or sponsored or monetized results.

        Doesn’t mean capitalism is bad. Google has a search monoply, there are plenty of other search engines but how can they compete.

          If a guy starts a wildfire to get hired as a fireman because he needs to feed his family then capitalism is bad. There are a lot of examples. Maybe you’re saying it’s not capitalism, but human nature?

            Starting a wildfire is arson and criminal, the only thing that guy should get is jail. You’ll get hired as a fireman because you’re entrusted to protect the community and as a thank you, the community will pay you back. Does that make sense?
