@everton137 @allaboutberlin Why do we act like there is only one search engine?
@schmaker @everton137 @allaboutberlin I think it’s a combination of laziness and ignorance. It reminds me of the early days of the web (not the internet) where domain names were just bought up, because they thought (and the users did..) they’d just type an address to find what they wanted. Instead if people had to use search engines I think we’d have a different situation nowadays.

The model is replacing his site. There is no credit, clicks, or revenue. This is what the "enshittification" of the open web looks like in practice.
Hard to imagine moving to Berlin without stumbling upon his guides at some point.

It sounds like theft,
it looks like theft,
It takes money from one person like theft,
It rots away the very base of itself like theft,
How is this not just theft? -

@everton137 This is so sad. This tech is anti-Web.

@everton137 @allaboutberlin It would be great if there was a type of search built into browsers that looked at the content from your chosen RSS sites first before using a centralized search.
