You are confusing Google and Internet.... they are very different things.
Judging by Google's chokehold over web browsers and websites in general, they're not that different...
You're confusing the web with the internet. But I don't blame you because OP did that too.
Doesn't mean the statement is less true, the enshitification of google is a symptom, the disease is the internet as a whole. Google and LLMs screwing the web, M$ screwing windows, Apple's existence by itself, Meta monopolizing and screwing social media, and don't get me started with streaming platforms and other media industries are all symtoms.
Considering all of that, yes, the internet enshitification is very real.
Symptoms of what?
But anyway, the cool thing about the internet is that you can find your nice cozy niche and stay there.
That's how the 90s internet was. If the megacorps want to be in here, fine. I'll just stay in Lemmy. And when Lemmy starts sucking, I'll move to somewhere else.
It's not just google, google is just the most popular, so a lot of the seo is targeted for it
