It does seem like the ideology of those inside google went from “tech” , to “I know better than you do”. Not sure it’s fixable really…
That’s the problem with most tech these days. They assume they know the best way to do something or know better than you. Its infuriating
Spotify is a prime example of this. There are so many “features” I hate and that no one has asked for, yet shuffle doesn’t even work.
Everytime I start spotify in ny office after listening on my commute, it tries to start playing on my phone since that was playing in my car.
Or when I was still there, Reddit search. Absolutely useless and so fucking smarmy with that stupid doge.
What do you mean by “shuffle doesn’t even work”? Please qualify that statement.
they may be referring to how spotify’s shuffle isn’t a true “shuffle” in that it is biased to things you have listened to more, recently, etc
That’s been the case for well over a decade going back to some of the earliest iPods. It’s nothing new.

Jesus Christ I guess I’m not misremembering.
Bing’s reverse image search is essentially dead in 2024 unless you’re uploading the Mona Lisa. It’s really, really terrible and even worse than Google.
My favorites right now are Tineye, Yandex, and Google, in that order.

Same, tineye only ever worked for me if I uploaded a picture that was by Reuters or something and therefore on lots of reputable sites. In any other cases it found nothing.
Unrealistic. I usually have to scroll way down in the results to find a link to wikipedia nowadays.
So true. If I want to know how old a celebrity is, first result is something about their latest work that doesn’t mention age, and then the next 3-4 are usually some ranking articles, “top 10 ceberities you didn’t know were 50,” and then Wikipedia comes in with the answer.
Perversity and males in Japan. Name a better team.
Guns and schools in America. Name a better team.
The 95-96 Chicago Bulls, you despicable white knight weeaboo?
Weeaboo is when I make fun of you for generalizing an entire population
