Hope you enjoy being laid off when your company eats itself to keep the growth going for just a little longer to please the capitalist parasites known as "shareholders". You can't much money from ads when the economy is utterly, utterly in the shitter like it is right now, not nearly as much as you used to. You really think that the average person has the financial leeway to buy luxury goods or pricier options shown in ads when the budget barely covers food, bills, rent and transport costs, and everything they do buy must be the cheapest thing they can get their hands on? Your company, and all other internet companies supported by ads, made a pact with the devil, and now he has come to collect his due. I will enjoy seeing you all go hard into the red.
What economy are you living in? In the US at least inflation is down, real wages are up, GDP and the stock markets are up, employment numbers are stellar...even income inequality is trending the right way. The only thing that's "bad" is interest rates, and there's an argument to be made they were too low to begin with before.
One where the average rent has now eclipsed the average mortgage repayment, and where all we export to the rest of the world is raw resources that are less in demand than ever
I get by fine with Duckduckgo and Ecosia, thank you very much.
Google's recruiting standards must've dipped because I can't fathom a Googler would be this ignorant. You know there are competing search engines, right?
You're right, Google and Bing are the only two search engines in the world. Trolls gotta troll, I guess. Blocked.
