Google is trying something new on the search feed
How long until Google gives up and shuts it down? Place yer bets!!!

Google, a company you can trust. A company that thought the phrase ‘Don’t be evil’ didn’t fit anymore.
It’s still in their code of conduct, though. Got moved to the bottom.
Ahh ok that makes me feel better
Well yeah, if they were truly going to follow the “don’t be evil” motto they’d have to give up capitalism, which ain’t gonna happen.
I give it a year before it’s shut down. This is Google, after all.
TWO YEARS LATER: Perspectives will be shut down …
Two years is too generous. 6 months later unofficially dropped support, 1 year later introduce some stupid redesign and some functionality that lowers user experience, and then 2 years later is merged with some other random Google service.
It’s crazy they haven’t done this years ago. Hopefully it doesn’t go anywhere and as pointless as Google plus or buzz or whatever
This is the awesomest thing I’ve seen since Google Wave!
Neat, another service that Google will inexplicably kill in anywhere from 6 months to five years time.
And hiring people up to the last second. Last few hires probably barely have time to sell their old apartment and pack their families on the plane to California before being laid off.
This just sounds like Google with extra steps.
Google does not really offer a space where people can come together to create communities or discussion threads. However, with the introduction of Perspectives, it may do so later.
So—despite the dumbass title (article’s fault, not OP’s)—explicitly not an alternative to Reddit, where literally the whole point is to create communities and discussion threads.
I do love the “it may do so later” part. It reads like the journalist was writing this via speech-to-text from the shower, just rambling off whatever thoughts came to mind.
Google’s infamous graveyard makes it seem like they’re just a bored university student that can’t ever finish its side projects.
This implies other feeds from google arent from humans.
Every time i search for something nowadays, the first results i get are always AI-generated articles that regurgitate other articles in the least useful and uninformative way as possible in an effort to show you ads. Robosites (a word i just came up with) and SEO have ruined Google.
Great, now 4chan can turn search results racist too.
Haha, wonder what Google will do.

Invent the problem, then sell the solution.
Just fix search that you intentionally broke so that it returns all relevant results, inhumane cowards.
Seems more like an alternative to TikTok no?
… And they killed it. It’s dead.
