      Google is a large company, they need to pay their employees and server. It’s pretty entitled of you to expect them to work for free. /s

      I read this everywhere these days. Shilling has become culture.

        As Netflix and producers of toilet paper know well, people in the end are happy to pay for things they like or need. But Google and its like have discovered that instead of selling stuff to me, it’s much more profitable to sell me to others.

        No thanks.

          God I wish the days would catch on in america, you just don’t get the same level of clean with toilet paper, seriously I used to have problems with an itchy anus, doctor always said it was normal. Even when it was red from wiping too much just to try to get rid of the itch.

          Switching to a bidet cured everything.

          If I start to itch back there I just use the bidet, clears it right up

        Sadly it hasn’t become culture, that was a thing even back in the days when the internet was just gamefaqs, new grounds, and whatever Message Board your mates went to.

      They are good on paper

      But not in execution

      If you’re going to show me ads thag I give a shit about they may be less annoying.

        We wouldn’t have gotten this far if they weren’t good in execution. Ads may not work on you or many people in this thread, but it works on enough people to make this worth it.
