Every time there's a submission from google.com someone complains that it looks like an official Google statement and we need subdomains to differentiate. I find this obnoxious, mostly because I have never found this to be any kind of problem but also because you people keep repeating this feature request for every link from google.com.
Probably 99.99% of google.com submissions are not linking to any official Google statements. And when submissions do happen to deal with official Google statements, they tend to be Google+ posts from someone who represents Google. So subdomains won't magically fix anything.
Why can't you just click through if it is ambiguous to you?
- tedivm 15y agoI think the point is that there is some ambiguity, and that it's a fairly easy to solve problem. Yeah, I understand it's not the end of the world or really likely to cause serious confusion, but I don't see any downside in showing the subdomain either.
