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 think Google can be blamed too much for presenting an article from a relevant, generally trustworthy site, that has the search query as the article title.
