OP is an engineer at Google: http://www.ianww.com/

Talk about biting the hand that feeds ;-)

  • Imo it'd actually help google if anything. As far as I know, they're not in the sponsored content game. If hypothetically, OPs thingo blew up and sponsored content articles became useless, that's more advertising budget freed up to go in to Googles pocket.

    • That could cut both ways -

      The sponsors whose content articles get blown up might get pissed with Google and take their ad spend elsewhere...

  • I consider advertising evil, as the primary goal is to replace useful thoughts with thoughts of buying and consuming things.
