I find it interesting that people still haven't learned when trying to post "proof" of Google's underhanded ways. Google could be changing the ads returned because it's detecting that we are hitting it at unnatural frequency. Who knows this black box anymore?
Post screenshots! Literally no one will have the same search experience as you as the dozens of replies here indicate. It's /impossible/ to replicate whatever anyone says about their search experience anymore, so the best solution for presenting it is to screenshot it
- O__________O 4y ago(Literally says the user who has posted no screenshots.) Unlike you, I did post screenshots and pointed out the issue of it being impossible to reproduce/share search results to Danny Sullivan (Google’s Public Liaison of Search) on HN few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32534048 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32534048 PS: I don’t believe Google is being “under handed” - they are a massive company with billion of users running a complex system. Unless there’s proof they’re intentionally being malicious, I would give them the benefit of doubt, since attacking them with baseless accusations won’t help anyone.
- usui 4y agoI don’t understand the purpose of your comment? The burden of proof is on people who claim something. What’s your problem? If someone says the page is full of ads and I can’t replicate it, why should I post a screenshot? Please, make sense.
- O__________O 4y agoSharing and comparing screenshots is pointless if Google actually has built-in support which was URL based. It would also allow for more than simply reporting bugs; for example, comparing two different, but equivalent searches for the same topic.
