re: #67 Obdicut

You mean I can’t trust my own lyin’ eyes?

Go ahead, google “gold”. What’s at the top of the list?

When you search for “vitamins”, what comes up? At the head of the list? On the side column?

Advertising agencies studied human behavior long before Google researched human activities.

Advertisers were not creating a new human, they simply used the existing human, in all our humanity.

I do believe in the current world that digital businesses, including Google, are more precariously clinging to their business than in the old advertising days. Especially since large segments of the online world are behind controlled interfaces, such as in China, the existence of a global company that depends on moving information through such interfaces, such as Google, is liable to some large crash, or radical change in the future.
