Google is trying something new on the search feed
Google, a company you can trust. A company that thought the phrase ‘Don’t be evil’ didn’t fit anymore.
I remember when they took it off. They probably brought it back because it was giving them a bad image.
I remember people saying that too. Then someone on reddit pointed out that they had moved it to the bottom quietly before the whole rexxit thing. Not sure how to interpret it being removed, added back and moved discretely. But as they say in Camp Cretaceous, “at least…” it’s in there somewhere.
How long until Google gives up and shuts it down? Place yer bets!!!
I bet 3 upvotes and one Mastodon follow, it’s killed off in less then 5 years
This will be saving you typing in +reddit +stackspace on searches. Still the same results.
Wish they’d include a -pinterest option.
A newer way to harvest data for them, I’m sure.
I maintain the only reason Google ever shut any product down was because they weren’t able to extract useful data from it fast enough. It’s the only reason any of their products exist.
Disagree
For many of the services they shut down, they accomplished what they wanted.
Sometimes, the purpose isn’t to create a shiny new product people enjoy and will pay for
Sometimes, the purpose is to create competition for a product you don’t like, make sure they fail by having a decent competing offering, and then shutting the offering down when the threat of competition has passed
I give it a year before it’s shut down. This is Google, after all.

@artisanrox @lostwonder @Thalestr Well someone needs to build this ASAP. I miss it.
