    Is this an ad for Google?

    Or some reviewer suggesting/imploring people to use google?

      Back in 1999, Google was relatively new and not well known. It was the clean, blank search screen and highly relevant results that got me, whereas Yahoo, AOL, et al were messy.

      Google was the OG tech version of giving people a high quality product to put all the competition out of business, then slowly start squeezing as much money from them as possible with complete disregard for product quality or user experience

        This is only partly Google’s fault. As soon as people caught onto how they were being discovered on Google, they began manipulating the algorithm in such a way that ruined it.

        Then Google ruined it further by injecting all kinds of ads n shit.

    Maybe it’s because I’m using ublock but don’t they still hold true to a lot of that?

      That’s pretty much the point of ublock: Remove shit from pages so they have “no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions, no portal litter”
