everyone opting out of google whats going onhttps://tech.yahoo.com/ai/gemini/articles/duckduckgo-installs-30-users-reject-223256854.htmlAfter Google announced AI-emphasizing changes to its search results, many web surfers began defecting to DuckDuckGo, reports TechCrunch. DuckDuckGo said U.S. app installs went up 18.1% week-over-week on average during the May 20 to May 25 period, compared to May 13 to May 18. The company said that growth was sustained for six consecutive days and peaked at 30.5% on May 25. On iOS, the rate of install is even higher, with week-over-week growth hitting a 33% average, peaking at 69.9%... DuckDuckGo said the trend is stronger in the U.S, and that DuckDuckGo continued to gain users over the Memorial Day weekend, when it usually sees a dip in traffic. Some of that data is backed up by third parties. App analytics company Apptopia found a 29% increase in average daily downloads in the U.S. and a 12% increase globally over the same period. TechCrunch delves into the reason why:I overheard a woman on the phone saying she was switching to DuckDuckGo because you can "opt out of using AI... Google just isn't Google anymore," she said. It seems that others had the same idea... Some have argued it will kill the open web, while others shared concerns that AI overviews surface inaccurate responses and take away control from users who might not want to use AI. It also overcomplicates simple things.
>>536093007>Be cute>Ruin slef with piercings and tattoosWhy are women like this?Anyhow, people are sick and tired of big tech CEOs forcing AI down our throats. Honestly, I don't even know how its sustainable long term considering how much resources AI is eating up for even simple tasks.
Google has been useless for over a decade now. Guess it just took people that long to catch up.

>>536093007Google started taking money to uprank websites in their results, it became untrustworthy
>>536093226Never forget that women do what theyre programmed to do by their leftist leaders, and when tylenol came out and said that taking their pills while pregnant causes autism, they started posting videos of themselves chugging tylenol while pregnant to >stick it to the patriarchyThey're mental children, they shouldnt be allowed to vote, allowed to drive, they should need to ask my approval to even use an amazon prime account. This cannot be understated.
