  I miss the days when their slogan was “Don’t be evil”

    Right, that meant “be slightly better than Microsoft”. They never tried to “do no evil”, no sirree, that’s far too difficult.

    Yeah, Google used to be the “Cool” company back then. I used to root for them.

      Lots of companies feel the need to serve their users on their way up.

      Once they feel they got much or most of the market on lock, they no longer need to justify themselves to their users, and a cycle of pure valueless exploitation begins, aka enshittification.
