You'd be surprised how long it takes to enshittify a piece of tech as well established as Google. The MBAs may be trying but there are still a lot of dedicated folks deep in the org holding out.
It's funny. I usually can't tell that from the quality of the search results.
Compared to what?
Compared to Google, X years ago, for example. Unless I'm mixing threads up, that's what we're talking about anyway: the degradation of Google's search results.
Yeah, the problem is that Google today is still generally better than its competitors today, even though Google today is worse than Google yesterday.
