#5Google News has become completely worthless for me.
It takes my YouTube usage and promotes news stories based on that.
But that makes absolutely no sense. I go to YouTube to relax and/or look at things that are not so important. Sudoku solving, gaming news, and/or chess stuff.
I used to go to Google News to have an understanding of what’s happening in the world. But now my Google News feed is overridden by stories about the same things I see on YouTube.
Outside the main 2-3 stories of the day (which is invariably the top political news from the U.S. which one already knows about through the zeitgeist) everything else is personalized stories and hardly News.

#6Google is so big now that handling each and everyone of its properties is likely to have not one, not two, but multiple conflicts of interest.
I'm not sure if even a government attempt to split it up can realistically work in any shape, sense, or form.

#7I should try to keep track of how often I use search engines. Because it certainly feels like I use them less and less.
I more or less know where to go for what I am looking for these days.
At the same time I get less and less interesting/useful results from Google.

#8Kagi & Brave’s new search engine look promising. And there are many other alternatives like Marginalia, Yacy, Swisscows, Ecosia, Bing, DDG, Mojeek, Qwant, Startpage, etc

Interesting. What do you mean?
I know they compete in AI research, but has (no longer quite so) OpenAI shown any sign of competing for Google's cash cows?

+1 Kagi. I expected to get bored and go back to old habits but it's been very impressive and has "stuck" as my default for quite a while now.
