    I wouldn’t be so annoyed about that, if they would accept a “no, thank you. I’m not interested. Don’t ask again” as an answer

      That they can directly put ads into the carousel.

      Ads they dont have to split revenue on.

    Sounds like a content highway but implemented in the narrowest, most awkward and least usable way imaginable. And they‘re paving the ruins of the search result page that they themselves bombed to bits with it. I‘m almost surprised they didn‘t try to sell this to premium users as the solution to a problem they created. The fact that they roll this out to free users tells me it‘s utter slop that I‘m never going to use.

    Wow, it’ll be so great having these summaries nobody asked for added to various feeds so that they can be scrolled past and ignored!
