I'm old enough to remember when the web didn't exist ... and when I dumped Altavista and Ask Jeeves and co for the cool kids: Google.

I'm fucking livid. Well actually: mildly unimpressed. The cool kids rarely last as such and "do no evil" ended up behind a green tent and a single shot was heard.

Actually, I am slightly stressed over this whole thing.

Instead of stressing, you could move on to supporting the next cool kids.

With what kind of assurance that history won't repeat itself? If anything, the rate at which companies enshittify has increased. Instead of taking 10 years now it takes more like 3 (or less).

		Life is change. Sometimes that’s worth fighting for and sometimes it’s worth fighting against. Is the current Google worth that battle for you? I’d rather see what comes next.

		Maybe there’s something else to support instead of enshittifying companies. Google should be fearful for how easy it was to replace them entirely with Kagi, and how little I miss it.
