Yeah, must have. Or the content farms got really good at gaming the algorithm and overpowered it.

They're trying to say "google intentionally makes their search results worse so you'll click on the ads instead" which is probably not actually true

maybe not "intentionally" but yes, i think they allowed it to get worse through inaction because if you spend more time on the search results page trying to find a good result, that's more time looking at ads and more chances to click on ads

my boss at my last job would do this every week. like an hour before id get the cancelation message and id message her to tell her i had things we really needed to discuss and she'd act like she was moving heaven and earth to give me ten minutes

Taco Bell Drive thru man, you're coming in at like a 9. I can only deal with a 5 or lower right now. Give me my mexican pizza and do not comment on the week old starbucks bag on my passenger seat.

Also do not refer to the hot sauce as "Hotties."

Also also, do not say "Gotta have the diet" when I tell you my drink preference.

You are allowed to say "Hell yeah you can" in response to "Can I get a mexican pizza", though.

it'd like take forever for them to actually take my rent out through cheque, so it's hard to budget around a rent black hole. plus you never got a receipt
