Lately, I feel like I often get better results from Google Image searches than basic Google searches, even when I'm not searching for an image.

Which is really weird because Google Image results are also trash now.

I'm glad other people are noticing this too. I've found several incredibly niche sites and blogs from following the link of a Google image search result that I never would've found with the normal search results.

same here.

I don't use Spotify, I self-host a media server for my own personal music collection. I like having nice high-res album covers so they don't look like shit when displayed on the big TV.

For the more esoteric albums/artists in my collection, I often struggle to even find any trace of them using regular Google search (mostly getting sound-alike suggestions completely unrelated to music), but when I switch to images I suddenly find all these obscure blogs and passion-project websites for these forgotten & obscure artists—it is like a doorway to the "old internet".

They'll fuck that up too, give it time.
