npub19fcv2nflra09c6p9xz8c8detwj6uy07u4z4m25qh836mnvxtatdq6aay3c (npub19fc…ay3c) The other thing that it's crucial to remember in this context as well is that "I searched the web" mostly means "I used Google", and Google's core business is not search any more, it is advertising, and that means putting ad impressions in front of eyeballs, and that means engagement, and driving engagement means showing you more of what they've already learned from your behavior that you want to see — well seasoned with a drift towards radicalization and outrage, because that drives engagement as well and sells more ad impressions.
I truly think that most of us drastically underestimate how much of an existential threat to civilization the advertising industry is. 90% of the utter crap products on the market would be unable to exist if not for advertising. How much product turnover is driven by advertising? How much conspicuous consumption? How much waste? GOTTA HAVE THIS YEAR'S MODEL. Buy this, buy that, buy more, more, more. Throw away what you have so that you have room to buy more. Never mind whether you need it. Just so long as you keep buying more.
