Google has completely lost its way. On my Pixel 6 recently the voice typing doesn't even work correctly. Although it works sometimes it tends to cut me off where is it worked perfect a few weeks ago. Google is constantly introducing new bugs into Android and into their native apps. I can tell morale must be very low because shit doesn't work.

When there is this much money involved nothing can survive. Greed is the most pervasive evil there is.

Who would have thought that overtly replacing your motto in such a way that everyone knows the new default is now "Be Evil" would have a negative effect on morale? Shocking

But hey, they can take the credit for the beginning of modern enshittification, so they've got that going for them anyways. Because their IPO was the death of the good version of the internet and everything they've done since has just made everything shittier and shittier. Almost like basing the entire society around greed is a mistake or something. whooda thunkit except literally everyone

It's a cult where members think they are special because they know algorithms.

They pay good salaries to grab people who could otherwise create something worthwhile. Now they do shit for Google, like ads.
