[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 119 points 3 years ago (3 children) Fucking company town. Google has become a real shit company. Switch your default search to duck duck go or anything else people! permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] oo1@kbin.social 18 points 3 years ago (2 children) searx permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] stefenauris@pawb.social 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) As awesome as it is, it's still a meta search engine so you'd have to remember to exclude Google. Otherwise hosting your own search engine is mega cool! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] oo1@kbin.social 6 points 3 years ago yeah, using a someone elses public searx (like i do ) just seems unhygienic. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml -2 points 3 years ago The new Brave search is pretty great. permalink fedilink source parent [–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 7 points 3 years ago Google sucks, search with ducks! permalink fedilink source parent [+] Steeve@lemmy.ca -15 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (3 children) So this is absolutely a scummy move by google, no doubt, but google employees are some of the highest paid people in the world at this point. Boycott them if you want, but don't feel like you have to right this injustice done to their employees, because they've still got it really good. Edit: Just so this doesn't come across as a crabs in a bucket type scenario, I am in this field and I am fortunate enough to make similar money, not as much, but equivalent in my country's market. We are not the people that need fighting for, we're the ones that should be fighting for others to have similar opportunities. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 20 points 3 years ago (1 child) No I just mean the this is yet another item in a LOOOOOOOONG line of things where Google has gone the pure shit route. In the last couple years, Google serves me more ads as search results than actual relevant results. The enshitification of the internet is real and I finally see it. I’ve have enough. Between Reddit, twitter, Google, SEO, Facebook and friends, Amazon becoming wish.con, etc everything is just going to shit. Maybe it makes me some old boomer dreaming of the glory days, but I’ve had enough. I refuse to be a product and I refuse to put any money towards these shitmaster overlords if there’s any way I can help it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 years ago All fair reasons to use another service if that's a deal breaker for sure permalink fedilink source parent [–] kamenoko@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) Thank you for defining the crab bucket mentally for everyone here! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) You must have just missed my edit permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kamenoko@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) Your edit doesn't do it for me.
