Google used to be THE search engine to use for techs. Put in an error code / message, and you'd get the exact "Here's how I fixed it!" forum posts and responses.
Now? Fuck that, it's all "Here's 30 ads first, and btw, good luck digging through the tons of results to find the useful information you need."
They need to go.

The way that Google has tried to combat spam has mostly just lead to spammers getting smarter, so every search result is an ad disguised as a "top 5 best vacuum cleaners" or whatever. Sigh.

I thought I was going crazy. It's become impossible to use. It's just a click bait generator now.

They still say "Google it" on the news and weather channels. This is what put Google ahead of other search engines, the media has always acted like Google was the thing to use. I quit them years ago.

just say, "do a web search"

It's catchier than "Bing" it, or "Wikipidia", or really anything else. A good brand name goes a very long way.

Yandex it you can't because russians, yahoo it makes you look like a retard, bing it you sound like a perv and start page it is grammatically confusing

Always day Bing it, with emphasis. It's obviously facetious and underscores that you are NOT saying "google it." The point is made.

The big tech CEOs who love to signal their marxist-leaning politics and their support of feminism, Islam, etc should keep in mind: When the Right comes for you don't be so sure that the Left will protect you. Real Democrats hate corporations.

Corporations playing politics get burned, every time. As they should.

Google is nothing but a brass plate for the CIA and Mossad

I think you've put the finger on quite something here

The biggest problem is Apple and Google together have a monopoly on smart phones and their apps. If they team up against you, you have no access to the market. Blatantly illegal.

If you behave badly, people notice.
[–] Bobsentme 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
People may notice, but they don't care. Look at facebook. Look at twitter. For all the shit they've done, people keep coming back because they're easily distracted.
[–] RoBatten 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Some don't care, some do.

Am I the only one here, who gets the creepy feeling that a perv next to me is looking at my cock while I take a piss every time I ever use google ?
