I'm not sure, I think personalized targeting algorithms tend to be way too aggressive in trying to guess what I want.
I really just want old Google where I can tailor my search terms and get what I really want, rather than machine learning trying to either overly target or overly "untarget" it, where it seems to try to guess what a completely average searcher would like, and ignore all the more specific terms in my search.
it's like no, I just want to search exactly what I typed, don't ignore half of it to get more general results or try to decide that I actually want something completely different because you know what city I live in
