I guess they just hate their users lmao

Never ascribe to malice what can be sufficiently explained by incompetence. And i think it’s fair to say the best and brightest at Google aren’t turning their attention to YouTube lately. Except maybe to make training datasets for Gemini N+1 :)

    We were talking about Google here. (you know, former search engine, don't be evil)

  • Can malice be emergent behaviour?

    • Well, psychopathy is an inherent feature of corporations. I wouldn't be surprised it malice will quickly develop where that appears profitable.

Their customers are advertisers, not users. By the looks of things they love them.
