"We only sell the top spots of our result... not the order of our results!!!!"

SEO Experts have spent their whole life guessing the search algorithm by trial and error, Top results are the ones which want to be there not necessarily best results.

It's getting harder and harder to find new websites...

Maybe it’s because of my ad blockers but I’ve never seen ads in google search results.
I guess the web is just a PITA without blocking the shit out of everything.
And now we have this privacy popup infestation which is a new level of annoyance.

@Lensflare i think that the privacy notices are a side step, but a side step in generally the right direction

@eo2875 yes - but it would also mean that we keep digging in the same subject. Time to look up some cooking recipes or how to learn spanish for example. Our google bubble will become bigger

@eo2875 I think it should not be up to the website to ask for consent for cookies. The website should ask the browser, and the browser should ask the user -- and allow the user to set a profile of trusted vs blocked cookies.

Yeah, that's basically what pretty much every good ad/cookie blocker does these days -- But that implementation should have been a central part of the GDPR law.

That way, browsers instead of websites would be forced to protect their users, and no content publisher could get away with "let's just not implement it and hope we're too low on the radar to get fined".

@bittersweet Exactly. That would also free the web site providers and devs from the need of reinventing the wheel over and over again with endless variations of custom privacy popups.

Lol ... The click rate on this buy publicity is so low that is not needed.... Be one social network and make you site seo friendly ... On search engine magic don't exist

Working with this piece of shit OS called windows is firing me up to get back on that leetcode grind wagon.

Fuck Windows.
