For months, I've been seeing this headline in Google News, repeatedly blocking sites promoting it, only to have new sites pop up. I'm getting served ads on Facebook and Twitter about these house kits - and now it's an HN headline? I'll say this much - I'm impressed at the veracity of the marketing machine behind this product.

- jniedrauer 7y ago'Voracity' would be my guess
- netfl0 7y agoMaybe capacity?
- perl4ever 7y agoI don't know what it is, but the internet seems so small these days. Every news aggregator or media outlet seems to have all the same stories. I miss when there seemed to be a vast world out there. Maybe I've just gotten trapped in a bubble. I'm not sure if there's some powerful force controlling the media as many paranoid people would have it, or if it's emergent behavior.
- at-fates-hands 7y agoI often feel the same way. When you search for anything to buy on Google, the first 10-15 links are for Amazon. Type in the manufacturer and the list dwindles to about 5-6 Amazon links, which is absurd. If I'm looking for Bose headphones or Adidas shoes, shouldn't the actual manufacturers site be page page 1, #1? I would think so, but it's not the case anymore.
