Google is getting worse and worse. It's harder than ever to find real information. All you get is seo scams trying to lour you in and sell you stuff. It's tragic. I miss the old internet.

This: As an electronic engineer I would often search for component data sheets. Usually the sheet I wanted would be the first hit. These days however I get pages and pages of crap sites that want to sell me the data sheet. Or even pages that say that they don't actually have it.

Yes, and what I always wonder about is that while I can understand the crappy sites that want money for an otherwise freely available documentation, I cannot understand the reason behind those sites (they are not only related to electronics) that come up in search (as they do have the very specific keyword/part number searched for) only to say "Sorry we don't have any of these, nor anything related".
