they must be losing gobs of money on their own ads now
If I’m understanding correctly, it’s a deliberate strategy to keep users on google instead of clicking away to other websites. “Zero-click results”. I’m guessing the firsthand ad revenue exceeds any referral bonuses, I don’t know.






I have to consciously remind myself that my parents were and are wrong.
Sometimes I imagine the versions of them that live in my head gagged and bound in cages.
No, dad, it was not a self-fulfilling prophecy that ruined my life, it was child abuse. No, mom, I should not repress my own emotions to please others. I am a human being, not your fucking possession.
They’ll be part of me for as long as I am alive, but sometimes I can shut them up.
I am trying to make something out of the ruins of my life. Not much luck so far. Therapy hasn’t helped yet. I wish people would stop normalizing abuse. The bible belt is a cesspool of stubborn, deadly ignorance.
