No. "Google used to be the internet’s front door, now it’s a back alley behind a half-vacant strip mall. Remember when Google was the internet’s home page? Not only was it where you went to start your web surfing session, but it was oftentimes your actual, literal home page. It was the portal you used to fall down weird little rabbit holes. Or how you accessed accurate information quickly, because you no longer needed a library and hours and hours searching to do so. Now? That’s changed completely. In 2025, people are going to YouTube to figure out how to fix their sink. They’re going to TikTok to find that dumb video to show their friend at work. If they need advice on a real-life issue, they’re checking Reddit to see how other humans have handled the situation. This is not because those platforms are better than the Google of old, either. It’s because they feel more trustworthy. And more personal. Even if that isn’t always the case. Ironically, credibility is the thing that Google was built on. It was the best place to go if you wanted to connect with legit sources, or like-minded people, or experts smarter than you. Now, every search query is answered with AI Overviews, which are often half-baked and read like someone drunk-edited Wikipedia. Google used to be the internet’s front door, now it’s a back alley behind a half-vacant strip mall. Like a dying star dragging all that surrounds it into the abyss, the death of Google has contributed greatly to the death of the traditional website. Because people aren’t using Google anymore—at least not in the traditional sense—they’re not going to actual websites anymore, either. And now many of those websites have ceased to exist." https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-internet-...d-and-you-killed-it/ |
