It's not a secret that Google isn't the apple of our eye (there's a reason why we don't make any money from search deals with them) but yesterday's announcement about the changes coming to Google Search are plain depressing for the web as we know it. What started as a joke (the famous "It's not AI" video with @jon), is starting to feel dystopian at this point.

Anyway. Swimming against the current is exhausting, but the fight for a better web is more important than ever. And as long as there’s people willing to take the fight, there’s hope. 🔥 So we'll keep resisting: no opt-in, no opt-out, no nonsense. ✊

@Vivaldi @jon What can we do when even supposed alternatives like Duck Duck Go and Ecosia are ramming this crap down our throats regardless of what their users are telling them?
@frobisher @Vivaldi @jon Unless I've missed something awful about Startpage (entirely possible as we approach Peak Enshittification so quickly) they seem ok
@eaterofsnacks @frobisher @Vivaldi @jon Startpage is fine, but for some queries I do still head back to Google and get better results.
