This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Reddit actually solved that problem for me by blocking themselves from appearing in Bing search results.

Christ, don't make me switch to Bing.

Just switch to Duck Duck Go. It's Bing with less spying on you.

Either DuckDuckGo or Startpage both are quite decent and serve the same purpose.

Ahh that explains why Ecosia has remained so pleasant to use. Bing can't scrape it anymore 😅

Oh boy... Just wait until they go full into Gemini. They're starting to use Gemini and AI in general for search capabilities.

Yeah, I've long since stopped using Google. Theres not any search engines I've found that mimic Google in its height, but many of them are better than what Google is now. Even bing.
