It’s very likely that no amount of negative feedback will change anything. Why not waste some of their time anyway? Write to them, call them, spread the word. This is the only thing we can do. Even if it goes through anyway - at the very least we can make it as unpleasant as possible.

This is silly. Google doesn’t give a single fuck. This decision will make money for key players and that’s the end of the conversation.

Their AI will be looking over all of the responses, not people. No important person at Google’s time will be wasted on this.

That’s why keywords are important. For instance I added the fact that if they continue in this course I will seek to de-Google my phones.

Like I said in another comment, unless they get tens of millions of actual unique-not-spam responses they will not even consider reconsidering. People aren’t going to de-google in any great numbers from this, because most of the people this will affect are already de-googled.

No humans are involved in reviewing these. They go into the memory hole and that’s that.

Give feedback and pray it somehow does something!MITM0@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You do it for posterity reasons

I dunno, I’m sure there’s a part of them that doesn’t want to scare off all the free labor they get from the community developers. They are probably legitimately trying to gauge how much of an impact on that this will have. That doesn’t mean they are going to stop or change anything, but they probably genuinely care enough to know.

Google’s thinking has gone short term “next quarter must go up.” They would absolutely trash their dev community for a quick buck, 100%.
