Kinda morbidly fascinating to see Google devolve into a horrible bucket of shit
Remember that incognito only protects your privacy from people you share your computer with. Your ISP, Google, that shady website, and all the third party cookies know you visited that shady site.
Yeah, whole different browser for actual privacy. Incognito mode is so weird shit doesn’t get suggested forever because you looked it up once.

This is what I use it for primarily. When I watch a show, I like to see what other shows actors are in. Apparently Google thinks that means I want news about Kanye, the Kardashians, Beyonce, etc. So now whenever I look up an actor’s name, I use incognito.
I just go straight to imdb for that. They have a great UI for that sort of investigation.
Tbh, I hate imdb’s UI. I will avoid it if possible. It’s so tiny on my phone, and the text is even smaller, everything is way off to the side with tons of wasted space, and I don’t like how if I click on something they were in and then go back, it loses my place.
Once upon a time you wanted to know Dolly Parton’s age. We’ve now decided you’re a country music fan!
I’m actually a huge fan of country music. But because I listen to mostly lesbian country, the algorithms don’t shuffle me country music content. They only show me gay music. If they’re lesbians, the robots are gonna tell me about them. If they make brand new old time songs, I gotta find them by social media association with other artists I enjoy.
Actually, they could probably collect a pretty substantial amount of data on you from just analyzing your garbage.
yeah, what you buy, how many people live in your household, your gender identity, if you’re pregnant, etc…
