I think you mean read "past" the title.

And you would be correct, because why would anyone red past a title so full of BS?

Google didn't perfect the web, anything but. If it's a hyperbolic title, we'll then it fails to get me to click because it's not interesting: I already know Google didn't perfect the web, so I doubt the author has anything I'd care to read.

Now, if it said "How Google Fucked the Web", I may click.

Thing is, I knew from the first year of Google how they were going to fuck the web, simply by being so much better at search, everyone would default to them, which is a bad thing.

yeah, it's already happening. shame as it's such a well written (and designed) article.

Yes, I really do love the animations, really shows the transformation so well.

With a stupid title.

So I'll never know how good it is. Not worth my click.

I didn't realise it, I just pasted the link and let Kbin figure out the data. I guess it read from an internal working title instead of the actual title (which isn't much better, it's "The Perfect Webpage")

I do feel like this is why I don't really hang around the fediverse that much; it's like the opposite end of the spectrum of right-wingers who go nuts when "communism" or "socialism" is mentioned, just that it's any mention of "capitalism". Kneejerk reactions either way.
