Google Search has been subpar for quite a few years now. Maybe regulations are the answer, but I think there's value in not continuing to visit those sites. Let them figure out why their site traffic is falling. As far as social media goes, c'mon - you knew that was a cesspool before you waded into it. We can bitch, moan, and groan about Musk and Zuckerberg all we want but nothing is going to change their actions so long as we continue to use their services. Where's their incentive to change? Especially when they're making so much money? Ditto for everybody else doing this garbage. Be glad HN isn't like that.
