- makomk 11y agoIt's about product search engines trying to force Google to rank them more prominently in search results. Which worries me a little, because I remember what Google's search results were like before they hit vertical search engines with the anti-spam hammer and it was an awful experience - page after page of worthless niche "search engines" all doing their best to convince you they had meaningful results, only to fail to deliver on their promise once you actually clicked the link. (Not forgetting the "review sites" with zero actual reviews.) And it didn't even matter to them because once you'd clicked, they'd made their money. Once they couldn't funnel people in through Google and had to convince users to actually search with them directly, it was the end because they had nothing worthwhile to offer.
