There sure are a lot of "Google enshittifies Google" articles lately.
isn't this a good change though?
It's actually a good change, IMHO. You can just click directly on page 10 for anything that might be related to your original search.
I suspect it is so that they can place ads / AI at the top of every page
If I remember correctly from the good ol' days, promoted sites/ads kinda stopped after the first few pages and it skipped past most of the SEO crap.
But yeah, I forgot how aggressive Google is with ads and AI now, those bastards.
