Searched for 'office gym' on YouTube yesterday and it returned a bunch of videos of Jim from The Office. The enshittification is everywhere these days.
What kind of video were you actually hoping to see? That feels like such an odd subject to want to watch videos about.
Hmm fair enough I guess. It'd never occur to me to want to look for youtube videos about the intersection between home offices and home gyms, but I'm sure people do. I think I'd probably use a term like "home office gym" though in that case. Honestly I'd bet way more people want videos about "Office Jim" but are terrible at spelling than want home office exercise equipment videos though..
I've googled error codes for programs with hundreds of thousands of users and had 0 results.
Really Google? You're telling me out of all these people that use / develop this application, that no one, kot ever. Once, has ever written hay error code down anywhere you index?
It's all so fucking shitty it has to be intentional but I can't for the life of me figure out WHY. Showing more ads? Maybe htnyhetrs other options. People will just use them. Making everyone dumber? Saving bandwidth??
I don't boy the "so has just gotten that good" narrative. It'll leave out sites from 2010 when it would be useful to see them and include them when it isn't.
I just don't get it.
