Google wants to make you feel like you're on a crowded train to up ad engagement

Can we pretty please stop dragging all the smartest people in from psychology, mathematics, civil engineering, the carnival, astrobiology, submarine warfare, neurosurgery, and gene splicing in order to increase advertising engagement stats by another 0.1?

Oh. This is more of that project Veritas BS.<p>Expect every inadvisable piece of analysis or research ever downloaded by a low-level Google sales rep to be presented as a exclusive leak of what the company has been secretly planning.

If the ad industry was applying this kind of emotional and psychological manipulation in order to, I dunno, coerce people into having more sex with them, most people would agree it&#x27;s evil. But it&#x27;s OK to manipulate people in the same way if it&#x27;s just to make them buy your shit?<p>Bunch of psychopaths.

Anyone with me on a startup that only indexes the part of the internet Google doesn&#x27;t touch?<p><pre><code> No Google Adwords enabled sites No Google Analytics enabled sites No Google CDN referencing sites etc... </code></pre> I don&#x27;t want anything to do with them anymore at all. Ever.<p>Or anyone who has anything to do with them.<p>Can we take our internet back?

Err, isn&#x27;t the study about people in <i>actual</i> crowded trains being more receptive to buying stuff?

Funny, Google Maps recently started surveying me about how crowded my trains were.

Can we all start saying Google Ad search now?
