Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy

I hated Google far before it was cool. I would feel vindicated if it weren’t so damn overdue. They don’t even contribute meaningfully to society. And I mean that about EVERYTHING

Gmail is lame, their search engine sucks, chrome wastes resources, their ads platform ruined the internet, Golang fundamentally sucks, the emulation layer of android is so fucking wasteful, Material Design ruined digital creativity, etc.

Google search feels like it has stopped being the magic it was. Now whenever I search for something I might not find it underneath all the stuff on sale. For the first time in I don’t know how many years I’ve been finding myself using something else like Duck Duck Go.

  The AI nonsense, the flawed ranking and the pages of sponsored links. Honestly, Google is just straight up useless.

    I used to use Google shopping to find certain items and compare websites. Now the entire left side that used to be a filter list is replaced. When you click a “filter” option it just adds text to the search bar. Then it will include an essay about why these are your options for something and recommend top brands, but then just list everything.

  Yep, that’s intentional. They stopped prioritizing user experience and started prioritizing ad revenue instead a while ago

  Consider the decentralized amily of trom.tf apps, such as search.trom.tf as a replacement (that’s the only one I use of their stuff so far… but may poke around more later).

    Ironically… I myself found this through Reddit, no joke! But yeah, I hope to sway more people here.

their ads platform ruined the internet

Ads were the bane of the internet FAR before Google even fucking existed.

  and yet somehow google made it worse. Not only are there more ads than ever before, but now it’s also a panopticon.

You think chrome is bad? You should try the GCP console, 2 tabs were using 15GB RAM.

What’s wrong with Golang? Agrees on all other points, and perhaps this one as well

  The key point here is our programmers… They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language… So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand ―Rob ‘Commander’ Pike, creator of Go

  It’s a very opinionated language in the worst way possible.
