Google does little to reduce advertisers' costs
Remember when google was good and gave you &quot;search results&quot; as best it could instead of suggestions of things it thinks you might want? In those days the search results had a white background and appeared directly below the query input. The ads were over there on the right margin with a different background and clearly identified as ads.<p>They used to brag about how good they were at giving you the address of something specific you were searching for with an &quot;I&#x27;m Feeling Lucky&quot; button.<p>Linux nerds used to &#x2F;like&#x2F; them. No really.<p>Nowadays they&#x27;re fully compromised by both money and politics and make the old days of microsoft look good.<p>I see things like this :<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;RobertKennedyJr&#x2F;status&#x2F;1673783596828569606" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;RobertKennedyJr&#x2F;status&#x2F;16737835968285696...</a><p>From a politician I don&#x27;t particularly like or support fwiw and think &quot;How dare they?&quot;<p>Google are fully evil.
