Curious about the first one -- was there some kind of conflict of interest? As far as I can tell all you were doing was taking public information already available on the page and disclosing it with a much more visible banner. Was your employer heavily involved in Native Advertising campaigns or something?

- bbcbasic 10y agoTalk about biting the hand that feeds ;-)
- erlehmann_ 10y agoI consider advertising evil, as the primary goal is to replace useful thoughts with thoughts of buying and consuming things.
- bbcbasic 10y agoIn case it wasn't clear, I meant the OP is biting the hand that feeds.
- Trundle 10y agoImo it'd actually help google if anything. As far as I know, they're not in the sponsored content game. If hypothetically, OPs thingo blew up and sponsored content articles became useless, that's more advertising budget freed up to go in to Googles pocket.
- webtechgal 10y agoThat could cut both ways - The sponsors whose content articles get blown up might get pissed with Google and take their ad spend elsewhere...
