Comment on Chicago schools tell Google they'd rather lose Search than be forced to accept AI
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 hours agoI started using them 2 weeks ago. Previously I was using DDG, occasionally when searching and didn’t get an answer I added “!g” to query which redirected me to Google, but I don’t think on those scenarios Google ever have better results.
With Kagi I do far did not have need to go to Google or DDG at all.
I’m also like that I’m in charge. For example I wanted to avoid buying from Amazon. Unfortunately it is not enough to not use their site, because they also show up on top of search results. I can select their service and deprioritize them so now I see other stores when searching for a product.

It was Ed Zitron not Cory Doctorow. But yes, search was not bringing in enough revenue so they optimized for ads seen (having to search more than once)

Your right.
I think Doctorow mentioned him on Adam Conover’s podcast when giving an example of enshitification and that made me attribute it to the wrong person.
