Google does little to reduce advertisers' costs
Remember when google was good and gave you "search results" 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.They used to brag about how good they were at giving you the address of something specific you were searching for with an "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.Linux nerds used to /like/ them. No really.Nowadays they're fully compromised by both money and politics and make the old days of microsoft look good.I see things like this :https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/16737835968285696...From a politician I don't particularly like or support fwiw and think "How dare they?"Google are fully evil.
