That is a lot of money for a search engine that barely works.

It barely works because it makes a lot of money

But that's how it's supposed to work, so it's working just fine? Amazing, actually.

That's what they need to pay to get people to use it.

When Google was released in the 90's they didn't have to pay anyone, everyone wanted to use it.

They make it work poorly so you’re more likely to click on the ads. True story.
