The Decline and Fall of The Google Empire

Why have Google services been getting worse, including GMail and their core product, Google Search? Search by image is particularly bad. Yandex is now very obviously ahead of Google in searching by image. It isn't simply because Yandex has gotten better, it's because Google's search by image seems to have gone to shit.

0.02 rubles have been deposited in your account, Sergei.

You try it. Crop a panel from a random doujin and see what Google and Yandex find.

>Why have Google services been getting worse,
Because monopoly
>including GMail
People bitch about GMail but they pay to use it, it's crazy
>and their core product, Google Search?
For people search is synonymous with Google
>Search by image is particularly bad.
I agree, it's completely trash, it's not even search at this point and the presentation of the results is even worse
>Yandex is now very obviously ahead of Google in searching by image.
Yandex is amazing, I don't know how those Russians did but Yandex is the best image search I ever used
The reverse image searching in particular is like magic
>It isn't simply because Yandex has gotten better,
Don't underestimate the great job Yandex has done
>it's because Google's search by image seems to have gone to shit.
50% true because Google image search has really gotten worse but on the other hand Google image search was never as good as Yandex

Case in point, the average normie mind
>made by russians
>therefore bad

only normalfags say "normie"

leave

I wonder

>shilling (((yandex)))
fuck off

Yes, the yandex image search is better.
The Russian people are generally ok, albeit a bit too drunk.
The regime is filled with corrupt murderers led by a sociopathic manlet.

>I don't know how those Russians did
I think there is some NN magic at work there, or at least stronger NN magic than Google's. As evidence I have the fact that the reverse image search sometimes finds different characters in the same pose or with the same facial expression.

does russia have indians?

>(((shilling against (((yandex))) because it's (((russian))))))
Why you do this?

>The regime is filled with corrupt murderers led by a sociopathic manlet.
Best Korea has a bright future.

Only newfags get triggered by the word "normie", in an attempt to fit in.

>Why have Google services been getting worse
getting cucked by the united states government. (trump)

It's really a mistery

When did it turn for worse? Google's products were still okay in 2012.

I still haven't found an explanation on why a for-profit company would promote a certain ideology and agenda and attempt to transform into an ethical entity
What is the end game?
Or Google isn't for-profit after all?
It's so confusing

because they block shit constantly. They abide by too many rules.
wrong. yandex is 100x better.

>The regime is filled with corrupt murderers led by a sociopathic manlet
The current Russian government is basically the CPSU's greatest fear: the KGB deep state takes control of the formal functions of the Russian state. All of Putin's cheerleaders, particularly on this board, are too stupid to realize they're rooting for a Chekist.

As for OP's question, Google is essentially the new Microsoft. It'll rest on its laurels because it's so ingrained in the collective psyche that they figure they probably won't be replaced.

>begin manipulating search results so people don't actually find what they want to find
>surprised people stop using your search function
Geez, thays surprising

Because people don't search anymore
The web is dead
People go to facebook, to instagram, to gmail, to spotify, to netflix, etc
Sometimes they don't even use a web browser
If you visit in public a site that isn't among the popular ones they look at you like you are a terrorist hacker

no competition.

They got woke and everything goes broke. There isn't any exception to this law of nature.

Google works fine. I get if you don't use it based on principle bc botnet. pretending its broken so you can have an excuse to replace it with a shittier russian botnet is retarded

I think Google is just trying to cater to the audience that will spend the most money on them. It's like how Fox News hires white blond big tit anchorwomen.

That's not *that* woke, they're just slightly overrepresenting a supposedly oppressed demographic

Cope

Which audience?

google should just ban results from pinterest already

Cope what?

Because they replaced their white male workforce with shitskins, women and fags.

Google's audience is leftwing people, mainly the college educated who have a decent income.

Yes they do. It's the Starbucks drinker with Apple products meme stereotype

Yandex's image search is better because it is willing to disclose to the user more than Google's is willing to. Google and Yandex both crawl pages with things like images from social media and revenge porn. However, Google's image search has a filter on faces that's intended to thwart doxxing when it suspects that person is a private individual. It also applies that filter to pornography, *wink*.

Once Sundar Pichai took over, all bets were off. Couple that with YouTube's actual-factual context menus for "controversial topics", delisting "controversial videos" from the website, the ad-pocolapyse, the platform really got shit. For each successive day YouTube added to its service since its buyout by Google in 2007, each day it's been taking away since 2017 (when Trump won, and probably because they're mad Trump won). It totally nerfed its analytics data for videos because of fears it could be used for web-tracking.

Google isn't even that good on landscape photographs any more. If filtering is the only reason, why are they filtering those?

Google's strategy is and always has been to provide good services for free at the beginning. Now that they're pretty damn close to monopoly they could switch their focus on making more money.
Take the Google Maps API for example, it was the best around and free to top it off but nowadays it ramps up to being the most expensive after only 100k requests.

It all started with PC culture and Google started hiring a bunch of cucks in the name of diversity.

Because search engine stopped being Google's main activity. Their main activity is advertisement and 2nd major activity is botnet tracking phones, at this point I think they don't give two shits about the search engine and besides people will keep using google no mater how shitty it become.

That's when moot got hired.

>Google's search by image seems to have gone to shit.
the results of all google searches have gotten less and less "honest" over the past twenty years because of:
1) advertising
2) censorship
3) pushing some kind of gay / nwo / globalist agenda

it's like that old saying about boiling a frog slowly.

Google's user facing products suck because Google keeps manually intervening to remove the good stuff. "View image" was removed from image search because of a copyright tantrum, search algos have been more and more ham-handedly meddled with to prevent right-wing content or anything Google doesn't like getting to page one, Android sucks because Google hates it when you use their loss-leader ad portal OS as a real computer, and on and on and on. These problems are rooted in Google's core business model and corporate culture, and thus are not likely to get any better. They'll be dead in twenty years.

Google should be pure, uncensored, unskewed algorithmic search. Nothing more, nothing less.

Holy BASED, fellow 4Channer! I also think that saying "normie" is a newbie term! What a normie! Haha!

Just look at zombies like IBM

Blah blah blah

You spent a whole lot of time just re-writing what the OP said: Google search got shittier over time and their competitors now outperform them.

All yandex has to do is improve search results for regular web stuff and I won't even be touching google anymore. Well, actually, I don't touch google already, but I'll be able to replace the other search engines I use.

posting twitter screenshots
>should
be bannable.

The ad based web itself won't last that long. All it takes is the proportion of adblock users to cross 50% and sites start dying.

For one their customer support is non existant. I was locked out of my Gmail account and had access to everything and it wouldn't allow me to verify myself even though I was signed in just so I could update my password. I finally got in because I remember my password but they have no support what so ever. Just finished erasing it and eveything from Google because fuck that if I let that happen again.

There's no profit in customer support, so they don't bother with it - unless you have enough Twitter followers and kick up a fuss, then they'll unlock your account within a day.

Google Image Search got cucked by lawyers.
Yandex is getting cucked by lawyers in their own country, same shit.

Right I understand that. It's just amazing that such a huge company cant even bother hiring third world workers for basic assistance. I considered it for the Twitter thing but if you have to go through that much trouble then you might as well just stop using it lol.

I know I'd rather use my AOL over Gmail at this point. It's all I've used since 2005.

Using AOHell or Yahscrew in current year.

Nice one user. I know who I am going to sell my data to now.

>Yandex is now very obviously ahead of Google in searching by image.
It does do a very good job searching for images - when it doesn't decide to force me to complete a captcha every fucking page navigation.

This has happened on multiple occasions:
> reverse image search
> click image
> forces me to complete a captcha
> navigates me to a page with the wrong results
> re-input the search to get the right results
> forces me to complete another fucking captcha
> navigates me to a page with the wrong results
