Google's enshittification memos (pluralistic.net)

When I think about how the old, good internet turned into the enshitternet, I imagine a series of small compromises, each seemingly reasonable at the time, each contributing to a cultural norm of making good things worse, and worse, and worse.

Google doesn’t return good results either though.

If you want best effort, use DDG as your main search. If the first query doesn’t bring back what you want add g! to it and it will redirect to Google. yt! goes to YouTube, b! goes to bing, w! Wikipedia, etc.

I think google peaked in 2016 and since then it’s in steady decline.

I use to assume if google didn’t return good results then no enough content is on the web.

Thanks for the tip!
