Pluralistic: Google’s enshittification memos (03 Oct 2023) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

When I think about how the old, good internet turned into the enshitternet, I imagine a series of small compromises, each seemingly reasonable at the time, each contributing to a cultural norm of making good things worse, and worse, and worse.

    Kagi, it’s amazing.

    I used to use ddg a few years ago but it wasn’t good enough to completely leave Google search.

    Kagi is even better than Google. Highly recommend you try it, it makes the web feel fresh again.

      I just read the article. I’m stunned.

      I’ve noticed in the past year or so that duckduckgo would return all results of one brand or similar websites no matter what general term I add.

      I know ddg send query to search engines but I didn’t know google was the culprit. I thought ddg sucks.

      Kagi sounds good. I’ll definitely give it a shot. Hopefully it’ll not get acquired by google or microsoft.

      Okay i will have to Google for Kagi since you didn’t provide a link… /s

      Edit: Kagi requires a login just to search? Wtf? And it’s $10 per month?? Hahaha forget it! Bye!
