>“We want to get you out of Google and to the right place as fast as possible,” co-founder Larry Page said in 2004.
The article presents you as some sort of "gotcha" quote demonstrating how Google overturned a core value or something. Yes, Google search results have changed, but what it is now is very much in the spirit of that original value. I searched for something. Google gave me the answer directly. Boom, I'm done. Get in, get the answer fast, get out. I can go back to my life.

You think Google did all the original research and information creation to populate their answers? And since when do they provide decent attribution and link-throughs to the sources they used, so you can check their graph? Or do you really trust Google's automation of everything to generate accurate results every time?
- renewiltord 6y agoIt’s the same thing as with ads and ad blocking, etc: your business model is not my problem.
- calcifer 6y agoWell, let's just hope your business model doesn't get co-opted by a giant company one day. That would be horrible.
