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.

    Do any of us still use Google in this way though?

    Sure maybe nanna still talks to google like an Oracle… “oh Google what is the best printer of 2024”

      Yeah…have you ever had to buy new appliances? I just got a house, half my searches were for appliances, fittings and reviews and the results all sucked.

        Well yeah I do have appliances, but I don’t think I’ve ever searched for product reviews for household appliances.

        I just don’t find reviews for this stuff very helpful I guess.
