    a quick summary is that there might be evidence that Google favored increasing revenue from ads instead of user experience and functionality. The author gathers form of emails (not linked in the article) and the background of Google leadership.

    There, that’s most of it. The rest is a difficult read of a rant that’s not always coherent.

      That just makes sense. Companies want to make their customers happy, and users aren’t Google’s customers

      And the same thing keeps getting posted every few days. If I wanted to see it every time, I’d just subscribe to the damn podcast.

        heh, lemmy has a duplicate story/post problem in general.

        I hope that blocking recent duplicate links is a feature they can add someday soon.

          /r/Europe used to have a bot for it. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone just goes out and makes one, if it hasn’t already happened.

        Would be nice if Lemmy was alerting poster that he shared a link already presents in other posts.

    I couldn’t be bothered to read all (or even much) much of this, but it really doesn’t feel like Google search is dead…
