Maybe have google.com be a pure search engine and name the rest Google+
Maybe fuck Google
Where do I put it?
In the o. And if you’re up to it you can DP both os.
Shhhh...we don't talk about Google+ anymore.
Is this an ad for Google?
Or some reviewer suggesting/imploring people to use google?
Back in 1999, Google was relatively new and not well known. It was the clean, blank search screen and highly relevant results that got me, whereas Yahoo, AOL, et al were messy.
Google was the OG tech version of giving people a high quality product to put all the competition out of business, then slowly start squeezing as much money from them as possible with complete disregard for product quality or user experience
This is only partly Google's fault. As soon as people caught onto how they were being discovered on Google, they began manipulating the algorithm in such a way that ruined it.
Then Google ruined it further by injecting all kinds of ads n shit.
We must sacrifice the Internet to The Almighty SEO.
The origin of enshittification
a lot can change in 20 years
In internet times this is prehistoric though
Maybe it's because I'm using ublock but don't they still hold true to a lot of that?
That's pretty much the point of ublock: Remove shit from pages so they have "no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions, no portal litter"
