What can we realistically do, shouldn't we be making more noise on the wider internet about this? I already use Firefox, and am barely using any service from Google, doesn't seem enough.
I can only hope that major players will somehow shame Google out of this obvious enshittification effort. That's probably naïve.
I think realistically, even if we did raise enough of an uproar, and the major players did actually pay attention enough to get Google to back down, they'd just wait 6 months and implement it anyway with a different name, or keep grinding away until people are too tired and distracted to fight it anymore. That seems to be the general playbook for stuff like this.
So I assume it will be implemented, and those who don't care will just put up with it, and those who do care about it will either figure out how to break it or just learn to live without certain things online I guess.
