If Google starts showing interesting text-heavy links instead of vapid listicles and storefronts, I have accomplished everything I ever could dream of.

Google Info - for when you're looking for information, not shopping advice or lists!

It was a joke. The joke being that Google should launch at new product called Google Info, that would actually give you information when you search.

You can check the Web Vitals score of Google SERP-s using Core SERP Vitals (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/core-serp-vitals/o...) and filter out the worst results.
