Google Enshitification is everywhere.

used to be you needed a novel idea for a startup.

now you just need to copy a Google service, but not make it unusably shit.

Google today is the wish version of Google twenty years ago

Google 5 years ago was amazing, I would have never predicted Search and Maps to have gotten worse. It would have been better if they just stopped making changes altogether rather than whatever they are doing now. Does anyone have any insights on why this is happening?

Layoffs haven’t helped.

Who is making the Google Maps competitor then? Noone else can do it - Microsoft, Apple, etc
