> I'm starting to understand why there are so many people on HN claiming that "Google has started to give me bad results in recent years".

I thought I was going crazy. Googles been working fine for me and I was wondering if I was just being delusional or in denial.

View on HN

I was served maybe 60-80% spam from Google around 10 months ago (now resolved). The results you see can be significantly different from what others see.

Sample from 10 months ago: https://i.imgur.com/Hla7cyT.jpg

In that resolution, the picture is almost a blurr.

Seems fine to me

     curl -O https://i.imgur.com/Hla7cyT.jpeg && sips -g pixelHeight -g pixelWidth -g dpiWidth -g dpiHeight Hla7cyT.jpeg

    pixelHeight: 2009
    pixelWidth: 1879
    dpiWidth: 72.000
    dpiHeight: 72.000

If you're on mobile, Imgur doesn't allow you to view a high resolution version. You have to copy the image URL and then adjust the maxwidth query parameter:

https://i.imgur.com/Hla7cyT_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&...

Because who would want to be able to see the whole image?

still blurry to me

Did you change the value of max width? Eg https://i.imgur.com/Hla7cyT_d.webp?maxwidth=6400

Here's a link to the proper version: https://i.imgur.com/Hla7cyT_d.png?maxwidth=999999
