2. Would be nice to see some well-organized search engines / web indexes that stay up to date and don't suck. Searching for a lot of stuff on google is like asking, "Please show me generic business site articles."
Like many of you I use HN as a primary social network and Kagi as my search engine, etc. - but the relative unpopularity of these things shows that most users seem to be OK with their product getting enshittified. In fact, almost every time I tell someone I pay $10/mo for my search engine they look at me like I'm an idiot. "But Google is free."
Honestly, my tolerance for enshittified products has become so low that I have stopped spending on things, foods, and poor services entirely. As in, I cannot fathom buying a shitty product for higher prices any more. It just doesn't feel....right. Oh well, good for my finances and the environment.
