Wow - google has gotten aggressive - sekker - 11-25-2017

I just did a search on google for a book using this iPhone.

And ALL google returned were sponsored links. ALL.

I couldn’t even scroll down to go beyond.

I’ll do the same search on a Mac at home, but if this is how google is going to play, I’ll start using a new search engine.

Just terrible.

The Youtube app for Android is the same way. I had to use Firefox to get some different results, and the way it's going, pretty soon I'm going to need to use DuckDuckGo with Opera's pseudo VPN.

I lived fine with bing in China.

This is EXACTLY why net neutrality matters.

Yeah, but Net Neutrality isn't where the money is.

Holy cow! It's taken you this long to come to a sad conclusion?

Sekker, I are disappoint.

If you're in Safari just change the default search engine to duck duck go in settings
