RGBGoogle Search Is Now a Giant Hallucination
NualkrisWhy does search need to be AI? I’ve had no problems finding any information I wanted under the former process.
leadoreI think the idea is that you won't even leave the Google page at all, they want to keep you on their site and serve you their ads instead of sending you to someone else's site and giving someone else that sweet sweet ad revenue.
The logic checks out. Avoid using google where possible.
YouTube is their only must have service imho
After the UI changes…yeah not even sure about that. Absolutely atrocious
Well they are still fucking us but can't replace the content... Yet
But you can access the content without going to their site, with places like Invidious, and apps like NewPipe and Tubular.
I need it on my teevee so I pay.
I still use Foss client o my phone tho
Ah yes, tvs. I don’t watch enough yt to want to watch it on tv, so I often forget about that. You’re right, no easy answers there right now. Certainly there are ways, but all sacrifice some convenience. Hopefully this will change soon.
If you have a way of installing android apps from the web on your TV, Smart Tube Next is very good. Sponsor Block is integrated if you want to use it, but I mostly am just glad it doesn’t serve ads.
Many large creators post on Nebula, and half my YT consumption has been replaced by Nebula
youtube will also become harvested for AI data. And filled with AI functionality in the future. ergo: Look out for alternatives.
