No, I consider it accurate.
I still consider Google to be marginally useful these days, but the quality has slipped and the UX has yet to keep pace.
> What do you expect -- the engine collects all 2 billion and puts them in a queue somewhere, just so that the one person in 500,000 who actually tries to see them all can?
Yes, that is what people expect when someone says "I found a billion hits on what you're looking for, here is the pile." How does this being wholly inaccurate by orders of magnitude to what the user can retrieve benefit the user?
- rossjudson 4y agoNo, that's what you expect. And you are weird. Which is fine.
- tomrod 4y agoAlone, I am a person. But clearly I am not the only one here that perceives this, and therefore "people" works. Uninteresting semantics intended to be clever from both of us aside, you also missed that, although it is a little lie repeated many times, the datapoint still offers no benefit to the user.
