1. Result quality decline- For any content, I generally end up getting lots of spam results, essentially spammy SEO links. 
2. Shit ton of ads- Almost first 5 posts are ads for any generic query. 

Hate using it. Someone needs to disrupt Search business soon and bring in new business model. 

Ps: I know about Neeva and few other companies attempting to change it. I sincerely hope they do. Also OpenAi is leading competitor to search  now.

Is AI Search the death of SEO & most publishers?

Google slowly laying off employees in one country after another is the most nerve wracking move. 
Couple days back they cut employees in Australia and similarly they keep laying off in a new country each week. Must be so enervating for employees. 

IMO meta and Amazon handled layoffs much better

Google slowly laying off

Product Marketing Manager

Atleast not in the form it is now. Found a rare good post on LinkedIn via Twitter which lists the reason why i think so. Also, I was reading psychology of money and one of the chapters discussed how GE used to be the most valued company in 2000s and how within 20 years, everything went to manhole.

Google is seriously going through a leadership crisis. I hate Pichai from the gut. We Indians like him coz he's brown munda, but I have never seen such narrow minded CEO since Balmer.

Hot Take: Google will not exist in next 30 years

Many other xooglers raised these leadership issues earlier. 
 Meanwhile, tier2/3 kids are burning midnight oil to land up in Google to start YT channel

With over 10+ years of experience in Product management within the insurance and Fintech sector, I’ve realized that product management is still not understood/defined well as a role. I’m open to all sort of queries.
