i will Gotta Hand It To google exactly one thing: by enshittifying their products so thoroughly, they made it easy to say "why not block them in my robots.txt? the search results are shit anyway!" and similar arguments
that's so convenient! thanks google!
imagine if they spent just $1B of their $290B annual revenue on end user quality, making stuff that i really want to use, that i feel like ehhh i hate that they violate my privacy but it's kinda worth the price? wow that would be stressful!
