they literally do things like remove search operators. you can’t even search the names of items. you cant do a - or a “” or whatever on amazon.com. you used to be able to. there are a lot fewer on google than there used to be too; they removed them a long-ass time ago, but the shit I learned about advanced search in high school no longer exists. it’s more profitable to just give you the slop they want you to have.
Google is not a shop. They do want you to click on ads, you are the product after all. They cater to their customers, the advertisers.
For Amazon, I don’t remember that ever being supported. Even if it was, code needs to be maintained and if people didn’t use it, it doesn’t make sense to keep it. They have metrics for that.
I don’t think corporations or capitalism work how you think they do, and I have no idea how someone can still think that way this far into the 21st century.
