Serious question, why do we give so much power to these tech firms such as Google, when really the solution is decentralization. We have some solutions for money with bitcoin, but there still doesn’t seem to be a viable alternative with a search engine that is decentralized?

I’m new to YaCy and not aware of what may or may not be working but I just saw this mentioned as a “frontend for searching YaCy without having to remember which node to use”.
Anyway, I’m gonna give it a try.
What’s not working? Is it a matter of needing more crawlers as @Danrobi@lemmy.ml mentioned, or something else?
Wow, 2/3 times I tried searching through this site I got a dead (or otherwise inaccessible) node.
Yeah, basically the same for me. Sometimes it works ok. Sometimes I get infinite loading.
