Archduke Frantz Fanon posted:have you considered binging up your are rear end op? i think bing started the trend of ignoring the user's search modifiers. although, knowing the bing folks, that could very well just have been an unintentionally introduced bug that's been sitting in their backlog for the last 5 years.

google+ was about the point when i realized that google the company sucks all that underhanded poo poo they did to get people signed up was because it was some executive's project and he wanted bigger numbers to look good. also having things you do on other sites show up as activity in google+ (like youtube comments) so they could claim to have more daily users.

I will say that they've gotten so good at rapidly delivering generic and general results whose answer I already know that we're at a moment where it can be faster to search a partial url and click on the first result than it is to type the full url that you knew the whole time. Basically they've managed to reimagine the web in the way that accommodates the old people who used to go to google and type "yahoo.com" into the search bar.

I feel like just browsing the internet is straight up impossible now, you search for something on google you get links to a million phishing sites and anything past the first page is pretty much worthless. Everything has congregated to centralized websites like reddit and facebook so how the hell do you find stuff on the internet when forums are on their last real breath and you don't want to scrooooooooool on reddit and facebook for hours? I was talking to someone the other day that agreed that browsing feels impossible but how do I go about fixing this? It feels like there's almost nothing to do on the internet itself unless you're on discord playing a game or chatting with someone.
