That's the magic of the free market. Even with no direct rival yet, Starlink innovates like crazy because the threat of competition is always there and consumers demand excellence. Unlike state-granted monopolies, those parasitic structures stagnate and plunder the people.
- ks2048 9mo ago"Enshittification" would suggest otherwise.
- ragazzina 9mo agoI'm sure dark patterns count as innovation for them.
- typon 9mo agoIs this why Google Search has been getting better and better every year?
- codezero 9mo agoIt was, until Matt Cutts left.
- stickfigure 9mo agoNot fair - Google Search is under constant and escalating attack. If we replaced current Google Search with the 2000s implementation it would be immediately dominated by spam and SEO hacks. Simple PageRank doesn't work anymore.
- olyjohn 9mo agoIt currently is dominated by spam and SEO hacks. Unless you're trying to find Amazon or Home Depot. They've done fuck all to make it better in the last few years.
- dzhiurgis 9mo agoDuckDuckGo index is just as good, but page itself isn't a piece of garbage like google. Heck even yahoo search has better ux now.
- carlosjobim 9mo agoIt's probably getting better and better every year for the customers, ie the advertisers.
- ATMLOTTOBEER 9mo agoYou actually bolster his point by using search as an example: search has been completely eaten alive by a better alternative (ai chat).
- bobsmooth 9mo agoIt's why Kagi and DuckDuckGo exist.
