google is fighting everyone at once (and losing).

Welcome back to another video! Anyways, Google spent about two decades convincing everyone they were the good guys, and then quietly spent the last two years proving otherwise. "Don't be evil" was there whole wisdom, their motto, but now in 2026, it seems like they are just speedrunning doing the opposite. This video breaks down how AI summaries are strangling the open web to the point that publishers are considering blocking Google's crawlers entirely, why thousands of Google's own engineers marched a petition to Sundar Pichai's office, what the EU's latest fine actually accuses them of rigging, and why a billion-euro penalty functions as a rounding error when you're worth four trillion dollars. Seems like everyone is figuring it out, huh? 📌 Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 0:39 - How AI Summaries Ruined Google Search 1:41 - The Employee Revolt 3:02 - Work 4:04 - The €890M EU Antitrust Fine 7:25 - State of modern google 8:24 - Outro 📚 some stuff with interesting information: The European Commission's DMA decision https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa...
