I once read through a (printed) community-service-related publication and noticed that the images were apparently "(c) Google Images". On the one hand I wonder if I'm staring at malicious compliance masquerading as plausible deniability, but then the thing with google image search happened, and... I don't know anymore. I REALLY REALLY miss the "find similar" button in GIS though. -- As for the article itself, this appears to be standard pinterest/facebook-rate fare - writing to generate ad impressions. The "why it went away" in #18 is patently false. I'm honestly impressed at the ads and tracking, at least; the ads are served without iframes and don't use 100% CPU, and the continuous tracking (? that seems to be what it is) is only using a few Kbps.
