    If it’s so useless, why do you keep using it? And why would you expect it to get better if Google is broken up?

      why would you expect it to get better if Google is broken up?
      Google has a massive conflict of interest; it both sells ads to SEO’ed websites, and ranks searches. Their incentive is for you to go to the pages with the most of their ads possible. Even a company with revenue purely from ads on the search page has less terrible incentives.

      It’s the best thing that can happen to Google. It’s a 3000 megaton ship that has lost its way. It has hands in a dozen industries and is mediocre at all, only floating through its own sheer bloat.

      A trimmed down Google would bring actual innovation.
