Not sure how that makes sense. Using Google with ads is more productive for finding something than not using Google at all, as was the case beforehand.




Quite often these days I find myself not even finding what I was looking for with Google, making it a net productivity loss.

I’m sure it’s there, somewhere, buried in the SEO and AI slopspam, but I couldn’t find it.


To conclude that Google is a net productivity loss you’d have to also factor in the productivity of all the queries over time where you _did_ find what you were looking for.

Would you also subtract all the time spent on Facebook after Googling for "facebook" and clicking on the first link in order to get there?

Using google was more productive
