The search engines have taken the "Playground Pusher" approach to maintaining their popularity. Get you hooked when the results are useful, then morph into what the tech companies want. I like using the Russian search engine Yandex, though it can be cumbersome.
What's happened to the public libraries is nothing short of tragic. I've moved around quite a bit in the last 40 years, and I can't believe the level to which libraries have been molded into the exact same vanilla content everywhere. Definitely as wicked with the non-digital censorship as compared to what's taken place online....
