...you don't see anything good coming from Google search results?

...that it's incentivized to return the results that the most people are looking for? As measured by clicks?

If you don't believe the news and you don't find popularity useful either then I honestly can't imagine what you're even looking for then.

Perhaps people of his, and my own, ilk are looking for results that match the search they perform? Why would I care about how popular a result is if all I want is to find a specific web page or a specific piece of information...
