Microsoft was caught testing way too many ads on its Bing Search results page. I saw 9 ads and only two organic/free listings on the page for a query on [garage door repair].
Hell, why even have organic search results at all? Just rank results by how much each site owner is willing to
bribepay. A protection racket for the 21st century.“That’s a nice website you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if it got no visitors.”
This is Bing we’re talking about, the website owner may not even notice.
Good idea, you now quality to mod r/anarchocapitapism
While I don’t mind laissez-faire in principle, that not my favorite anarcho-flavor and I don’t wanna :)
I am empathetic to wanting to be left alone. I am disturbed by their desire to tear down systems that protect others out of some a historic notion that we would be better off with out them
Yup. I consider myself pretty laissez faire, but I too have my limits, which are way before I get within shouting distance of ancaps. I believe in Piguovian taxes and lean a bit Georgist for a tax baseline, which is already pretty far from ancapistan.
I do like that Georgists are grounded in reality and try to address observed issues.
well you’d think at some point people would stop using their bullshit search engine.
DDG works pretty well and is based on Bing.
