Google has really been dropping the ball a lot more publicly lately

Was over for me when I opt out out of some of their data tracking shit and they started captcha'ing me everytime I browsed there. Like wtf Google what are you anymore? Sounds dumb but them changing the banner every week was the start of the end.

Changing the banner for like holidays and anniversaries of things isn't an issue for me IMO

But yeah all their tracking shit that you can't opt out of is a big problem and a big part of why I'm pulling away from Google as much as I can

Not saying it was an issue just was a significant change in how they did things.
