Everybody loses but the investment firm.

by. design.

it's so hard to watch people in late-stage capitalism still have faith enough in the integrity of the whole thing to give a go at it, and inevitably get smacked down by the few with all the dollar, as if it werent all rigged against them from the beginning.

there's a class war on, and we're losing. honestly, truly, maybe we don't need an ethical review website right now, unless youre reviewing torches and pitchforks? I say this out of frustration that so many of the people behind that site will just pointlessly try to play by the rules again. the war needs more good fighters, not people who continue to swallow the lie that the way forward is playing by the current, just so laughably rigged game

i dont care that this whole comment is a cliche

cliches are cliches for a reason

fuck Google, the employees and shareholders

eat the fucking rich

Google regularly launches updates to its algorithm to continuously improve search results quality.

Does anyone still believe this? Their quality has been dog shit for a decade, and gets worse with every update. They change the algorithm to push what is profitable.

This is so depressing... I'd been seeing it in effect but I didn't know all the context. We need more and better alternative search engines, like Stract.

EDIT: Actually, are any of the searXNG instances including Stract yet?

Here is a thing that is super super evil and we're going to explain why it's affecting us personally and then stop there

It's so exhausting.

This article is also a form of advertisement and self-promotion, though it does have a point about the proliferation of absolute garbage "review" and "ranking" pages you get whenever you try to figure out which doodad to chuck money at.

Good article. Especially for bad quality linux website like itsfoss, tecmint, etc

This was a good read.
