“a link to what the site looked like last week, before Google made me make it worse on purpose to make money.”
Sounds like you sold out. You should own up to your agency in the matter.
They made me make it worse so I could make more money - it’s like you think you are under unique pressure to pay bills, thus excusing you, but everyone else in the world shouldn’t be excused.
- shepherdjerred 2y agoI think the point is that Google is creating an incentive to have useless content on your website if you want to show ads on it.
- kibwen 2y agoUseless content entirely separate from the ads themselves, that is.
- MatthiasPortzel 2y agoThat was the author's point, but I think it is undermined by the fact that the ads on the page are more obnoxious than the AI-generated content. The AI generated content is nicely hidden away underneath the huge banner ad and the full screen popup ad that the author wanted to include.

- xcdzvyn 2y agoNot only did they choose to make their website worse for money, doing so encourages Google to continue doing this. This all coming from "an anticapitalist tech blog" humoured me a little.
