    Why would we believe the promises of the ones who ruined the primary utility of their core product in the first place, and convinced or blackmailed the rest of the internet to take part in the ruination ? An advertising corporation will tell us to put cyanide on our pizza if it makes them an extra buck this quarter, and google is worse than that. Profit despite the social costs is doing no evil /s

          I said it back then and I’ll say it again: Calling your mega corporation “Alphabet” sounds hella distopian

            The main reason for the name is that it sorts before both Amazon and Apple in the Big Tech directory. It’s literally as petty as that. They obviously chose a word that was related to searching within that criterion, but still.
