Is Google really as shit as Bing? I had to Ask Jeeves to confirm that.

Don’t want any Debbie-downers on Shitter once his bestie is in the big chair.

I am smokin’ hot, it’s true.

On the flip side, dismay and despair are way up!

If only there were Lemmy gold…

The best I can do is the ol’ feddit.uk handjob. Handshake, I meant handshake!

Clearly fake, where’s the apology?

“Sorry, if you’re going shopping, could you pick up some Michael? We’re aboot oot, eh?”

Just wait 'til truth.social and xitter run the country. Wouldn’t be surprised if TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, MySpace, WeChat, LinkedIn, Reddit, Pinterest, Discord and Tumblr all get banned.

I know, I know. Shouldn’t be allowed.

The joke’s way older than your post. I saw the OP Europe version over a year ago.

Edit: here

There’s absolutely no sensible reason to even consider not doing this.

Got a despairing sigh from my wife who is now regretting some of her life choices. Well one of them at least.

Good work!

OP should just brush that hype off.

Ugh. Well played!

Never put off to tomorrow today what you can put off to next week tomorrow.

So? How was it?

Still karma whoring then!

Whoever has been left as its leadership is a dumbass.

Not in the slightest. More likely their annual bonus depends on boosting revenue right now. So they’re incentivised to generate short term increases in revenue but not for longer term. Plus, also, if/when Youtube goes tits up they’ll just get a different CEOing job (with “increased revenue by 25% in 2024 on their resume”) rinse and repeat.

Kind of my point. We gained ecommerce, streaming services, platforms such as this one, online gaming, mapping services, and others - at the cost of the freedoms for which people are nostalgic. And now we have ads, personalization, tracking, and inevitable enshitification.

Back in the days of the wild frontier things were chaotic, anarchic, violent, and unconstrained.

Then came the churches, then came the schools
Then came the lawyers, then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road

And now we’re all fenced in, regulated, allowed to wander only in approved lanes… oh, wait, sorry, we’re talking about the internet, not real life!
