| Hard to conclusively beat spam when your primary means of making money is selling the very ads that the spammers are using to make money. |

| Theoretically, Goggle doesn't care which websites run their ads, so they might as well give you the most useful ones. Search doesn't really work for engagementmaxxing. |

| ▲ | fluidcruft 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | This is like suggesting you can show people more ads by keeping them in line at the DMV for longer. Try that at your peril. People aren't at the DMV to waste time and there's a reason the DMV is hated. | | |
| ▲ | pessimizer 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | You also have to go to the DMV anyway, no matter how much you hate it, so nobody cares about how frustrated you are. The only people who will suffer your anger are the other people waiting at the DMV. This is just another symptom of a lack of antitrust enforcement. |
