Maybe, just maybe, instead of testing out new logos, they should test providing search results that are actually useful. With Google becoming more enshittified every day, going in the opposite direction would actually give them a chance to become the new number one in the search engine market, at least for less technically inclined people who don't know about the alternatives. But who am I kidding? That will never happen.

The only person I know who used bing did it for microsoft points. That's very telling lol
I'm too afraid to ask, but what are Microsoft points?
Just what they called their reward system. You can convert them into different in-game things or gift cards and eventually other stores' gift cards. You used to be able to pay for xbox live i think, don't know if you can buy their new subscriptions this way though.
Wow, I had no idea Microsoft is gamified. That sounds like such a dystopic experience :D
