Google likes to claim it loves the web. Google fucking broke the web.
Cookie notices on every fucking website? They need those because they use Google Analytics or Google Ads.
Recipe sites that go on for fucking days? That’s because Google penalises websites when you leave too quickly, and they can’t show as many ads.
Obviously-bullshit machine-generated “content” designed to entice you to click ads? That’s because Google Search is a monopoly.
I’m so tired of Google.
@AlliFlowers @samir What's being implied here is that fewer sites would even _have_ any cookies to have to warn about if they weren't running Google Analytics or Ads on them.
@mnemonicoverload @samir Without said analytics, how do you know if your site is succeeding? Do you have 100 unique hits per month or do you have 200,000?
@AlliFlowers @samir The cookie notices are malicious (and generally questionable) compliance from corporations who want to continue their surveillance-advertising business model despite Europe specifically legislating against it.
Also its on EU's public survants for not setting a better example...
