Remember when "Google Fu" was a thing? Google perfected internet search, and once every competitor had been driven out of the game, they very intentionally killed internet search, and it has never recovered.

@RachelThornSub It's honestly where a bunch of my "wizardly" powers come from - remembering how to search for things in the days before Google.

@RachelThornSub I use ddg now, but I still think there's a bit of "Google-Fu" that I have and benefit from that some of my family and community don't have.
Your thesis is undeniable tho. Search has enshittified, and it sucks.
I wonder if there's some way to decentralize the original PageRank and how legal that would be.

@RachelThornSub I can sometimes makethings happen with DuckDuckGo (like finding the right lyrics to a song that somebody w/ 2 subscribers had put on YouTube in 2020).

@RachelThornSub Only a few of us remember those days... 🧓 (Or that's what it seems like anyway.)
