our website is so laden with cruft and third party scripts and ads and tracking scripts and social media integration and auto-playing videos that no one asked for, now it's loading too slow solution: amp

Plorkyeran posted:it's both. if google found the thing you wanted they display it on the search page directly, and if they didn't they just show a giant wall of spam. in neither case is it useful to click on any of the links. you also gotta take into account the millions of users who wind up in a google search because they fat-fingered a url in the address bar

 I will say that modern Google search is a font of unintentional comedy when you search for places or establishments. The q/a sections always own.

the q and a sections on amazon are equally ridiculous. amazon will just send an email out to everyone who buys an item if someone asks a question about it leading to all sorts of responses (which may just be email relies that auto post), some of which are just people demanding to know why they’re being asked relatedly i’ve been buying all my peanut butter on amazon lately. i only buy the natural kind with salt because both things make it taste way better. people are equal parts terrified and enraged to get it and find a layer of oil on top. someone was mystified as to how their peanut butter had “melted” even though it shipped in the winter

i like the one star reviews from people who bought something and are mad because they don't know how it works or are using it wrong. one time i was looking for a little liquid-filled compass like this to stick on my dashboard  it shows your heading by the number that's facing you. in the image it is indicating about 8 degrees east of south. the number of people in the reviews who didn't understand this and were furious that THE NORTH SIDE POINTS SOUTH was staggering

I knew someone who retired and just does product reviews now. Once your name/address are in the pool folks just send you free products to review endlessly. He gets like 40 packages a day of garbage to test/review and it sounded like a nightmare to me.

google has decided for me that “highest” is a synonym for “tallest”, so when I search for “tallest nobel prize winner”, I get results for the countries with the most winners per capita also the “best” nobel winners, because that’s totally the same thing, right?
