To me, EE being gone is good riddance, I HATED THEM, HATE HATE HATE HATE.
Most people might wonder: "why?"
It is because ANYTHING I searched on Google resulted into 3 pages of their links, sometimes sorta hidden (ie: sites that republished their links for example), and it resulted in:
When it started, I wasted lots of time visiting their links, seeing the stupid paywall, and getting pissed off with the wasted time.
As I learned to not click on their links, then I clicked on other sites that republished their links.
As I learned to filter those out, I had to expend time looking carefully several pages of google results searching for what I really wanted.
So I hated them, because not only they provided nothing for me (I was not willing to pay for whatever crap they were selling, I never saw a answer on their site, since I never noticed the "below the fold" or whatever that means, thus I still don't have a clue on the quality of whatever was their answers, so to me it was just a scam), they also wasted my time, they made me lose my valuable time working around their shady SEO tricks.
When they were gone from google, and thus made me stop wasting my time, I was really happy.
And if a employee or ex-employee come complain that I want the demise of their employer, all I can say is: "Don't work for people that do evil stuff." (this also apply to anyone working for cigarrete manufacturer, US intel and DoD, US private army contractors, some certain divisions of game publishers, some banks, and so on...)
- toki5 13y agoMan, this comment went from "fair frustration" to "crazy train" mighty quick. Blanket statements like "don't work for [entire industry X]" generally make you come off as a little tin-foil-hattish, just FYI. :-)
