The Verge published this spam article about the "best printers of 2024" to demonstrate how terrible Google's search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search "best printer" on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

I don't get ads in general. They don't work. I never bought something that got presented to me from an ad because I know ads are deliberately lying to me, so the product they show is the first product I don't consider purchasing.

Time to time i watch twitch from an iPad that I use only for that and an ad banner appeared of a weird but useful adapter for USBC. I clicked on it on purpose (first ad I clicked in a decade probably) the link wasn't working, dead link. I was speechless.
