Okay, so I was going to write a thread, but now it's turning into a blog about how Google is inserting itself between us and the creators of the websites, YT videos etc. we want to see and find online.
Webrings and alternative searches to Google has never been more of a must.

With @theverge.com writing about how Google now has changed some of their headlines it's a good times to reshare this brilliant thread and article by @housefresh.bsky.social managing editor Gisele Navarro.

A screenshot for the definition of mange from the American Heritage Dictionary 5 Edition. Text reads as follows: mange /mānj/ noun Any of several contagious skin diseases of mammals caused by parasitic mites and characterized by skin lesions, itching, and loss of hair. The scab or itch in cattle, dogs, and other beasts. Any one of several species of small parasitic mites, which burrow in the skin of cattle. horses, dogs, and other animals, causing the mange. The mange insect of the horse (Psoroptes equi or Dermatodectes equi), and that of cattle (Symbiotes bovis or Dermatophagys bovis) are the most important species. See Acarina.
#Microslop and #Slopple in a constant brawl for who gets awarded the 🥇Gold medal for most disliked FAANG company by me.
loathe the other ones too, but I'm not forced to interact with those daily and can "still" very much avoid them when I want to.
Also shouldn't it be MAANG now? (pronounced mange)
Always a good day to De-Google your life.
Google Search is now changing some of the Verge's headlines with LLMs. This is another ex. of the next big filter bubble we're all soon going to be experience. Where even people who try to not use the tech will have their natural voice smothered.

Adding this because it's kind of the reverse of scraping?
"We scraped your website and everyone else's. Now we're forcing you to use the output of our model or your website won't show up in search."

Google is discovering that it's harmful to their bottom line when people just copy paste their work without compensation, consent and credit.
