everything is just becoming one big ad machine lately. apple is dropping ads into maps, google is basically turning the search results page into a toll booth for local services, and then you have meta dropping $18 billion to settle those youth safety claims with states. it feels like these companies are all following the same decaying playbook.

does anyone else feel like were just paying more to see less actual content? maybe its time to

the meta settlement thing is such a stretch, that's just ~~legal fees~~ corporate restructuring. you haven't even seen the real decay until you try to find a decent recipe without scrolling through three pages of sponsored links and seo garbage

uiexpert is way too optimistic about that being just legal fees. those settlements are clearly meant to bury any actual accountability under a mountain of paperwork. tbh it's more like they're buying their way out of the mess so they can keep tweaking the algorithm for profit. good luck finding an egg recipe without 500 words of life story

my last client stopped caring about performance and just started injecting third-party trackers into the main bundle to pad their metrics.
