anyone know what google was thinking when they got rid of google now in favour of the discover feed because i honestly can’t understand how you can have the best engineers in the world and make a decision like that

    The two aren’t related either. Google Now was contextual information, articles were more of a symptom.

    It could correctly assume you need the saved location of your card when you got up after sitting for a while at a restaurant. That kind of stuff.

    The discover feed is more the reddit default frontpage. Completely different idea.
