Frankly, I mostly receive political articles and columns when asking for more more objective things.
I remember once searching for how common same-sex relationships among teenagers are in Japan, as some say it is very common, and all I received were political opinion pieces that did not in any way come with the numbers I sought on Google, so I then tried DuckDuckGo and to my amusement what I received with the same query was mostly pornography.
Neither particularly useful, but the contrast in how both prioritize was interesting to me.
