Google Could Change Forever

There is, without a doubt, a decrease in the quality and relevance of Google search results, over the past 5 years.

When you have to stick the word Reddit into every technical Google search you know it’s broken!

90% of my Google searches now end with “reddit”

Google’s motto used to be “don’t be evil”

I mean killing adblockers and not cleaning malware from their adsense network is clearly not a good or "innovative" thing to do

I for one feel like Google Search, Chrome, and YouTube have all taken a turn for the worse over the past few years.

There is no way that a company owning 95% of the market is doing its best for the consumer. It simply doesn't need to try hard anymore.

I think you're misunderstanding the word "antitrust" at around 2:20. "Antitrust behavior" is not something a company does. Antitrust activity is something the _government_ does, to attack _trusts_ (which are what companies do). A trust is a group of companies that have made an agreement to collude to their mutual advantage, typically in a way that harms the consumer, the archetypal example being agreements to fix prices. So when businesses do something anticompetitive, that's not antitrust activity, that's _trust_ activity. And when the government steps in to prosecute these cartels, that's called antitrust activity. Nowadays, corporate trusts are very rare in the United States. So antitrust law is used mainly to prosecute individual businesses that seem to have a stranglehold on a market, called a virtual monopoly. These laws, which were intended to prosecute cartels, are now used to prosecute individual businesses for using anticompetitive practices to stifle competition, and to break up businesses when they are perceived as too dominant. Those are two separate kinds of action, but they are often intertwined. In Google's case, the latter may be brewing as a consequence of the former. In Nvidia's case, some years ago, the company was prosecuted for its anticompetitive secret agreements with PC manufacturers (which unfairly hindered competitors like AMD from competing), but the business itself was not broken up by the government. Just forced to pay a fine and do some "corporate culture" BS to "teach executives that this is not allowed to make sure it doesn't happen again," as if they didn't know it was illegal when they did it lol.

Google doesn't even show proper search results anymore.

The search results now are so monotonous, earlier it used yo give all sort of websites big and small based on what we were searching for, but now first 3-4 are ads, then the same old big websites that tend to cover like every possible topic and then the mainstream media
