  • It’s only a matter of time before Google doesn’t give you directions for the shortest and most efficient route, but rather plans your route to send you past the stores that pay the most in advertising.

    “You could get to your destination by going down smith street fastest, but Glover Street has McDonald’s so we will send you down that road”


  • It shows little popup logos on the screen where the places are located, like a McDonald’s logo a few street over as you are driving by in your commute. I had it show me a Toyota logo for a Toyota dealership yesterday. Like, why do I need to know there’s a Toyota dealership there unless I’m specifically searching for it? Toyota probably paid them to show up a certain amount of times.






  • Personally I don’t even subscribe to any. I just browse all and then filter out any community that pops up which I don’t think I’ll ever be interested in.

    I started to subscribe to a few but when browsing subscribed only I felt like I was potentially missing so much, because maybe I subscribed to the wrong “aww” instance but I also didn’t want to go through and find the 3-4 different versions to subscribe to.

    This way I see everything, except the stuff that I definitely don’t want to see (like most of the porn instances, non-english instances, etc.)
