Are the changes to Google Search (AI mode as default) the final nail in the coffin for the open web? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I feel like it's really hard to be optimistic about the state of the internet. While some more technologically and politically conscious users might make different choices, 99% of the people will just keep using Google and following along whatever changes they make.

the future of the web should have been napster and similar, not this centralized trash heap

Be the change you want to see! Inform as many people as you can and hopefully some people Will understand. “Some people” sounds way better than “almost no one” :D

This! There are plenty of decent search engine alternatives. Keep using the alternatives and yapping about them to other people

I rather hope that it becomes the final nail in the coffin for Googel itself.
