Big tech needs far stricter regulations but I don't think people would like the internet very much if Google was forced to sell off services like YouTube. Nobody else is offering unlimited free hosting, discoverability, promotion, and bandwidth for video content and nobody ever will again. If the chromium project was sold off to some other shitty tech company, do you really think they'd keep the open source 'ungoogled' version readily available for everyone? A Google breakup would just mean that other tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, etc get more powerful.

If there's an appetite for breakups why not start with the companies that control our food and news

May I recommended watching "The YouTube Effect" if you don't see the problem with big tech companies.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I'm guessing it can be found on YouTube?

"Kagi Search" looks cool. The examples of searches look far superior to even that of google.

But it's $5 per month. (No ads) Or $8 for couples. Even so I think I will try it. The search results look really good.

Has anyone here used Kagi Search?

I wanted to like Kagi, but their Brave fiasco turned me off of them for good

The price seems reasonable IMO. Search engines are expensive to run, and I'm not sure they'd even be breaking even at the moment.

They have a "small web" search that searches through small sites like blogs, which I really like. Sometimes there's small sites that have great info but aren't ranked very high in Google due to all the SEO spam and Google's preference for major sites.
