Try Kagi if you can afford a paid search engine. You can even specifically search the fediverse.

I’ve been using noai.duckduckgo.com for a while and it’s still useful. The problem isn’t just the search engines it’s the SEO that shit sites abuse to get to the top of searches.

If a website can tell what zip code you’re in based on IP, that’s good enough. If someone is using a VPN and their approximate location is obfuscated, the USER can choose to volunteer their location if they want localized ads.

Targeted advertising of any kind should be voluntary.

I also believe billboards should be taken down. Advertisers have been given carte blanche to hijack our eyes, ears, and attention without permission for far too long.

And that’s why it should be regulated heavily. Advertising uses scientifically backed methods to short circuit people’s judgement and drive consumerism.

I mean yeah it’s the old way to serve ads but it’s incredibly inefficient.

Why do we have to make advertising efficient?

Personally I think advertising needs a LOT more regulation.

Came here to say the same.

Considering they hamstrung Anthem with no support and killed it shortly after release, I was surprised to see it on the list.

Man that was a great game with incredible potential but they (EA) shit the bed by forcing a release before it was ready and then pulling the plug just as the game was getting in a really good place after a roxky start.

EA was a good game company. I don’t like them as a law firm.
