I just opened my Google drive and was like "why are these files all over the place? Why aren't these folders nested any more?" and after a moment clicking around I realized that Google Drive has instituted an algorithmic view of my stuff. Not "here's your files where you left them" but "here's some files we think you might like!"
Is nothing sacred
Look, I understand that this is something you may desire if you're enshittening your social media platform to push ads/promoted content/try and keep people engaged for longer.
But, like, Google Drive is already a designated space of no-fun. You're not going to make me more productive by suggesting me sheets I would want to look at.
God, I'd love to have been in the meeting room where this was pitches and approved, if only so that I would have experienced the third this-does-not-make-any-sense vision blackout of my life.
