Google Commemorative Logos You’ll Never See

1. So far from the “Don’t be evil.” days.
   They need to have the ad business hived off and away from them.
   Search engines and AI should have a subscription model imposed on them making the consumer the customer not the product.

   1. Boy it was obvious for sometime that the best answer wasn’t the first thing you saw with the swine goggle searches. I gave up on goggle on my computer but I’m stuck with the pricks on my phone ;-(

      1. No you’re not. There are plenty th of other search engines, and they’d available on most phones.

      2. Brave browser (never see an ad again, even on YouTube) and brave search are great ways to unhook from Google

   2. Don’t be evil. That’s our job.

2. pffft. trying to have yer cake aaaaaaand eat it too!!!
   google is a modern day PARAGON of capitalism.
   follow the text book model almost to a T.
   eventually DOMINATE, quality control is downloaded to the consumed ones.
   (as opposed to ‘consumer’).
   aaaaaand watch the purveyors of capitalism whine and whine.

   1. Crony capitalism where monopolies flourish, as opposed to the real thing where laws (including those against anti-competitive acts) must be followed. The left honestly doesn’t see the difference.

3. We ARE the product. Remind me? Don’t we have “truth in advertising” laws? It seems Google is intentionally and deliberately being untruthful.

4. This is why I use DuckDuckGo for search. Google serves up cr@p and the “AI assistant” thing is worse.

   I just checked and Lycos is still alive. Anybody still remember that? ~:D

   1. I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for several years now and am very satisfied.

   2. Meh. During the start of the Ukraine war the CEO of DuckDuckGo publicly said the company was going to restrict Russian information.

      From the DDG wikipedia site:
      “Weinberg said in a tweet that DuckDuckGo will down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation, a move which some users criticized as censorship and a violation of the search engine’s commitment to “unbiased search.” DuckDuckGo has defended itself from the criticism, saying that “The primary utility of a search engine is to provide access to accurate information. Disinformation sites that deliberately put out false information to intentionally mislead people directly cut against that utility.”

      1. “Disinformation sites that deliberately put out false information to intentionally mislead people directly cut against that utility.”

         So, no CNN or MSNBC, then? Cool.

   3. “I just checked and Lycos is still alive. Anybody still remember that? ~:D”

      I do…and Alta Vista, too.

5. Yeah, there are things I’ll never see on Goggle. I haven’t used it in many years and have no plans to ever use Gogegle if I can possibly avoid it.

6. It’s a free search engine. Go use something else if you don’t like the way it works for you.

   1. Reading these comments, I think that’s what most of us are doing, Dano.
      As for it being “free,” I caution anyone who thinks they can get anything for free. There’s always a cost associated with using a product or service. The cost may not be a monetary one, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t pay for the product or service in some other way.

   2. These search engines aren’t free. The information about you and your habits has value and they are able to monetize it with advertisers.

      You may not care and give that no value, but to me the fact I have giving them something of value and their response is to treat me like shit and NOT give me access to the correct information and censor instead, makes it a bad deal.

7. Like the recent settlement Apple offered to avoid court over Siri turning itself on, recording users, and selling the collected info to advertisers. $95 million “voluntary”, so I wonder how much they made off of it?

8. Or that “Your Google Assistant is ready to help you get things done”

   Whenever I turn off my bluetooth earbuds……

   Maybe I’ll turn it on and ask how to delete the assistant?

9. When you Google anything the first 14 hits are ads for products, some not even related to your search.

   1. Same thing with Amazon search

10. An appropriate logo would be the search icon with a thick black blindfold over top of it!

11. So, Alphabet-Google is effectively a monopoly.

    It’s going to be epic when it gets broken up and scattered to the wind.

    The Amazon needs to same treatment.

12. Rather than asking any search engine and receiving 1,500,000+ hits, why not just ask Co-Pilot or ChatGPT and get a measured reply. IMO Search Engines are following Blockbuster into oblivion.

13. It’s great for finding out the opening times of local restaurants. Beyond that, not much use.

14. It’s not a bug. It’s a feature!

    DuckDuckGo is not a search engine. It uses Bing? but hides your info.
    You can force DDG to search Google by adding g! to your search terms 😉
