I wonder if Google is running a large scale A/B experiment. Agree to pay in France while testing removal of news results in Australia.

- sheepdestroyer 6y agoOnly two test cases, Isn't it the smallest scale possible?
- severine 6y agoGoogle News hasn't worked in Spain for years: https://support.google.com/news/publisher-center/answer/9609687?hl=en https://support.google.com/news/publisher-center/answer/9609... So at least three test cases, and I guess there are more.

- dehrmann 6y agoI honestly don't think News is worth the business headache of this. I suspect Google makes most of its ad revenue from brand keywords (the first result for "nike" being an ad for nike.com) and e-commerce keywords. News is a nice-to-have for users, but if they left it to a third party, it wouldn't drive away users or much revenue.
