Shilling for what?
I simply observed how these threads always go. The faithful turn up to proudly proclaim how much they don't use google, how they cripple their browsing experience so they may remain pure, to experience the internet as it was intended before the original sin (ads) corrupted it.
“conform, and you will have no further problems from us” makes a lot more sense to me why google called their control plane “borg”
Of course, it's not the huge number of bots attempting to manipulate google which numerous posters on this thread have also run into (they must be shills as well!) necessitating a JS requirement.
No it's google who wants to get their claws into the last 0.000001% of true believers who're dodging their fiendish JS tracking! I'm sure they're salivating at the prospect of the revenue bump that group militant anti-advertisers is going to offer...
We live on an internet where "not conforming" to what an ordinary user looks like makes you look like a bot. Google certainly didn't invent that and definitely doesn't want bots trying to manipulate its services, but by all means continue to "google bad!" while avoiding any and all evidence to the contrary.
