    I read something that said they are PURPOSELY bad at search now because if users have to click multiple pages, they see more ads. Like, how evil do you have to be to purposely corrupt your main thing just to sell more ads.

      Search never made them money. Ads do. Ads are their thing.

      We need to figure out a way to host content on the web that is just part of the network, without needing servers or big tech companies.

      It’s not really possible I know but we need to anyway.

        Yup, I know. They are, first and foremost, an advertising company. If they can integrate advertising into their products, you can bet money on them doing so. Which is all the reason i need to never use google again.
