Google is devolving into pre-Bing Yahoo
Thank goodness we have Lemmy tbh
???
This is search. Lemmy isn’t search.
I more meant the AI takeover of the internet in general. This is one of the few online spaces where you can still find real news and interact with real people.
Beep boop
Yeah Alphabet is uh really really really stupid for losing their user loyalty when competitors in the search field like Kagi exist.
Kagi isn’t a competitor to Google because search engine isn’t Google’s product.
Collecting user data and monetizing it is Google’s business product, and they are far and away ahead of any other “competition”.
They don’t even need the search engine anymore to collect user data. They have millions of people using Chrome, watching YouTube, using Gmail, using an Android phone…etc
I’ve seen people commenting on other articles about how Google Search sucks now. I finally get what you mean. I want you to know I feel your pain.
Been using searx a bit recently and it often is the 1 thing I’m looking for as the top result.
