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.

    In my experience that’s only been true if you’re letting Google track you post-2020-ish. If you Google via tor or a VPN with no history so Google has no data about you, the results are trash, where Bing/DuckDuckGo (which is just Bing sans non-MS trackers) results are slightly better (although still much worse than Google before it sucked).
