    Slight update to this comic, to call out the dangers of Google’s Sponsored Results.

    Examples, for those that are not aware of this risk:

      It’s disgusting that Google will happily make money from scammers while completely aware of what’s going on

        That’s exactly how you make money in the search engine world - by not knowing what your paying customers do.

        That’s big business on the Internet! No morals, no conscience, just churning out profit for the do nothing class.

      I rarely trust top results from google, since I’m uncertain if I somehow missed the tiny gray text saying that it’s an add.

        Yeah, that shit is illegal where I live and search engines do it anyways. Unfortunately not enough lawsuits…
