Even though I rarely use El Goog for search anymore because they’ve pretty much fucked it to the max, I do use it as a news reader. The mobile app defaults to a feed of stuff you’re interested in, and the feed is pretty good because, of course, they’ve been stalking us all across the internet forever.
So, this morning, over my breakfast coffee, I opened the app and…
OK. Fine. They want to pimp out their stupid AI app. But I’m not interested. I just want to read the news. So I tap the ‘Not Interested’ button and…
Nada.
I tap it again.
Nope.
I machine gun tap it a dozen times.
Nuhuh, JB, why don’t you try getting the app instead of being such a negative Nelly?
It’s like four hours later, and that fucking dialogue box is still there. I am now resolutely determined that I will NEVER install that stupid app.
And, of course, I’m no longer using Google even for news reading.
