    What do you mean “waste of bandwidth”? We’re paying for that through government subsidies and selling our personal data. Are you seriously defending a corporation that made $250 billion last year in ad revenue alone?

      This is a weird point. Like yes, Google is a government subsidized monopoly. But to keep this feature is a massive waste of resources.

      Like from a tech perspective, this should not be done. Like fuck Google can be a thing and will have no impact on that

        People hate corporations so much that they forget some times they do make smart choices. That bandwidth doesn’t just exist from nothing, it’s electricity being moved around. The environmental impact, even as infinitesimal as it may be, isn’t worth the convenience imo
