Well, well, well, Google. I told you.
This is only 20% of our power. We are not even Super Saiyan yet.

And equally, Google is yet to use the big guns they have. Don’t get me wrong, I hate Google with a passion, but they have way too much power over the internet for us to leave even a dent on their plans.

They have a lot of power, but that power is tied by goodwill.

Right now they are cashing in all that goodwill with price increases, more onerous privacy invasion and “sponsored” links in lieu of actually accurate search results.

It pushed me to buy grayjay which is allowing me to easily keep up with people off youtube. I just wish that grayjay had a web app.

my problem with grayjay is that it really wants to give me stuff from the trending tab even though it’s supposed to be subscriptions only
