written before reading the article; it get the topic from another, more interesting and less imaginary, angle
Do we explore it post-Google or post-anything that would take its place?
Because those are two very different scenarios. There are plenty of Big Tech corps that are willing to take Google's place.
If we actually mean no one does search with targeted advertising and stuff, my bets are on more indie sites popping up, and Fediverse getting stronger as well.
We'll have more link indices, and more relevant search results hosted on different corners of the Internet.
On the negative: unless open-source projects step up their game, usability and quality of web interfaces will suffer dramatically. And without truly massive Fediverse or at least decent webrings, finding basic information and connecting to others might actually get harder.
