I have a long-running conspiracy theory that Google deliberately makes the UI’s of their various services (Android, Google Docs, Youtube etc.) baffling and they hide important features away so that you have to use Google to search how to do things.

Basically, Google has made their search engine results purposefully worse, so that users need to keep scrolling to find the correct search results, while they feed more ads to users.

“Since google doesn’t have any real competition” Thankfully those days appear to be behind us. At least partially because of the shit they pulled.
