I use a VPN. Google doesn’t make much off of me at all.

Great way to plug an extension. Whether useful or not, said extension will monetize thru ads.

Like the Godfather said, “It doesn’t matter to me what a man does for a living, as long as it does conflict with my interests. “

Google has also just purchased YouTube

How old is this article? Google purchased YouTube 15 years ago... But they weren't making $120 billion back then.

Awhile back I read an article that used the term “goat rodeo”. I didn’t know what that term meant. So I used Google to look up the meaning (laziness on my part that I didn’t use another search engine).

Anyway, the next time I opened YouTube I got an ad for buying goats! And no, I didn’t buy any - I’m saving up my money to buy a wildebeest.

...faking invisible clicks on each and every now invisible ad ...


Does that mean that those advertisers get billed for those clicks on ads that never saw the light of day?

Could say “Serves ‘em right for advertising with google.”

Screw that. Use the Brave browser along with Ghostery. POOF. 99% of ads gone.

Google free home here. No GMail, no Google Search, nothing.

“YouTube that pays NO royalty to musicians”

Umm, this is not true.

One of my doctors said he pays Google about $8 for your click on his Google search ad.
