Am I doing your comment an injustice if I paraphrase it as follows?:
- Ads do not adversely affect customer satisfaction.
- The combined forces of Microsoft, Apple and others could not create a serviceable search engine (despite Microsoft alone having already made one).
If not, let’s just agree to disagree :)
- v7p1Qbt1im 7y agoAds are looked at as either a nuisance and necessary evil or just a part of how the „free web“ pays for itself. I‘m sure they can. And, as you say, MS does already. supported with ads as well unless I‘m mistaken. Are you suggesting they offer a search engine and subsidize it. That they offer it as part of their ecosystem benefits, sort of?
- charlesism 7y agoYes, that’s what I was thinking. I can’t disagree that users tolerate ads, since advertising is the model of plenty successful websites. It’s just that, like bundled OS crapware, the user experience is better without it.
