Replacing every search engine with a 30s paper boy who doesn't really listen to what you ask for, runs off to get it before you get done explaining, and always gets waylaid by flimflam men who pay him a Nickel to bring back something other than what you asked for along the way. "Bugsey said yous might like to read this paper better miss, aw wontcha least take a look miss??"

@futurebird I assume the venture capitalists in this model are the flmflam men who pay the 30s paper boy a nickel.

@floatybirb I wanted a copy of the Wireless Quarterly... this is just another pamphlet for one of Patch-Faced Elon's pyramid schemes!

@futurebird I'll gladly take this, actually. Throw in some carrier pigeons as well and I think it's the way forward.

@futurebird so, when the paperboy throws the paper at your door, is that the same as todays notifications?

@futurebird I propose, in memory of "Ask Jeeves", an "Ask Bertie" search engine. Never knows anything important, just random cricket stats and minor nobility gossip, but willing to speculate charmingly about whatever you ask.

@futurebird you have spoken the truth of the matter, all take heed ye who are near and far, for the search engine is now an agent of the enshittification, hark!

@futurebird oh there's a great Jewish folk tale about this where a boy is sent to the market for schmaltz and he comes back with water, not because he has been duped, but because he misunderstands a chain of vendors' metaphors for quality and purity and concludes that water is the ultimate substance, thereby ruining shabbes dinner.

@futurebird Read that as a newspaper "boy" in his 30s which is a whole other level of dystopia.

@JimJoe @futurebird the paper is thrown so it thumps your door to let you know it has arrived. And when your subscription expires, it breaks your window.

@futurebird We could replace the “More…” buttons with “Read All About It”
