They should have invested in their potential, their search engines. It’s getting shittier almost daily.

Makes you wonder if they just stopped paying they’d have 23 billion more and I wonder what they’d lose in market share. If it is less than 23 bil it makes sense to just not pay.

It’s become easier than ever to spam out websites and spam content. It’s a plague on the web and I’m not sure what the cure is.
