It’s sad to see that Google is such a hollowed out version of what was once a great company. The decline has been going on for years. It’s just now the most cynical version of what people thought of it, a company that squeezes even more profits out of its ad business at the expense of its search quality and other products. I don’t know a single person who thinks Google search hasn’t declined. This is the company that tried to scan all books to make them searchable, created an open source mobile OS, helped RSS explode in popularity, invested billions in open source and Linux. One that, for a while was organizing the worlds information and making it accessible to all. Those were good times.
