I tried getting directions to a restaurant from Google Maps yesterday and it routed me inefficiently through an intersection with a paid sponsor restaurant. This was the biggest enshittification of direction apps I’ve experienced. Not only did it give me worse directions, but what are the chances I need to stop at the paid restaurant when I am trying to get to another restaurant in 20 minutes?

That's not the purpose though. This puts this other restaurant in your head for some other time. You may think you're not actually affected by this tactic, but decades of research shows that, even when aware of this, it still fucking works.

So the only winning move is not to use Google
