It is very much a shitshow. I don't see how this is gonna end at all.

2023-12-08 14:29:43 +0000 UTCYou are exactly right, I hope at least. None of the big tech companies has introduced anything truly innovative. Novelty, yes, but very little innovation. And when they face competition, they try to shut it down by government force rather improve.

2023-12-08 14:29:03 +0000 UTCI predict a Streissand effect. Most people have no clue what invidious is, but after this goes through the new cycle they will begin to use it. Google needs to focus on improving its products instead of stifling competition. They haven't created any new, innovative products outside of a few key acquisitions like YouTube since 2004 with Google search.
