[–] fenfalca@lemmy.one 24 points 3 years ago (1 child) This has been deeply frustrating, but since that's the whole point, I support this collective inconvenience. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brunox@feddit.cl 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) All in all it's also a testament of how bad internet is now. All the information is concentrated in few sites that, if gone, gets lost. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] catshit_dogfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 years ago Also, I find that basically every search result that isn't reddit is sponsored content. Search something real specific like "Best aftermarket injector coils for a 2009 Toyota Corolla" and you're going to get 100% advertisements and listicles for search results, likely written by somebody who doesn't know shit about cars. Append "reddit" to that search, and you'll be led to a post from a car mechanic giving their opinion on the matter. And, well, I do trust a random stranger on the internet more than I do an advertisement. permalink fedilink source parent
