Yeah, because everyone is asking for that. They will force ads into everything they can, because Google is an Ad company.

Has there been a company that has experienced such a fast fall from grace as Google?

Mere years ago they were viewed as the bastion of intellectuals in tech. They worked on stuff that was deemed "not evil", people that worked there were deemed the best and brightest, and their culture was celebrated so highly that literal movies have been made about working there.

Obviously, the reality is different from the vision, but in a short amount of time they've implemented URA, have had multiple mass layoffs where people were locked out overnight with no more than a sentence in an email after a decade of work, have doubled-down on enshitification of their services, and have alienated a significant chunk of their workers through RTO and cost cutting.

URA? Ironically, Google doesn't define it in regards to themselves.

Unregretted Attrition. It's basically stack ranking, where the company plans to fire a percentage of its staff every year.
