The entire of Google is dying. Starting with search, the moment you turn off your adblocker you will see why. It's literally a complete crapfest of badly moderated advertising and ranking manipulation. Then there's the default Android experience which literally shovels garbage down you with the Google app and via a version of Chrome with no ad blocking capability. The www is unusable unless you install another browser. Then all their immature web based apps propositions which people are finally tiring of due to the bugginess and being almost completely unusable if you're offline. Then the invasive tracking and privacy issues. You can tell how bad it's getting because nearly all my searches suggest autocomple with "reddit" on the end because people are more likely to get human generated results. And of course the ramped up YT advertising recently.
It's a classic death spiral.
They don't have a product other than crap search and invasive data collection.
- gl-prod 4y agoNot only Google, but also the other day I was trying to download Chrome using Edge. Bing had an ad along these lines: Title: "Google Chrome - Download the Fast, Secure Browser from ..." URL:"https://google.com https://google.com". I was just about to visit this site until I hovered over it and saw that the actual link's URL was very much not google.com.
