Google search results have gone shit. I am facing some deindexing issues where Google is citing a content duplicate and picking a canonical URL itself, despite no similar content.

Just the open is similar, but the intent is totally different, and so is the focus keyword.

Not facing this issue in Bing and other search engines.

Yeah, Google search results are almost useless. How could they have neglected their core competence so badly?

B.c they shifted their internal KPI in 2018 roughly, to keeping users on Google and not tuning towards users finding what they are looking for ie. Clicking off google.

This is what has caused the degradation of search quality since then.
