Wanna listen to this story instead? Check out this week's Better Offline podcast, "The Man That Destroyed Google Search," available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts.
This is the story of how Google Search died, and the people responsible for killing it.
The story begins
Nice. I got some restriction for being too sarcastic about Elon and his sycophants, did dang get you yet? It blocks me from posting for a while if I do several at once. I just quit using the site shortly after that.
For everyone? That’s idiotic. It’s killed all my desire to engage, because I’ll want to respond to someone, hit the wall, and just leave for several days. Eventually the several days seems to have become forever. I thought that was the point after dang specifically told me to “be respectful.” If it’s for everyone that’s completely idiotic.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. The site is not about having good conversations, but getting youths to risk doing a startup in order to fill Paul’s pockets.

I’d rather people dogpile executives instead of entertainers and athletes like they do today
