Seems a little harsh. People would be trying to game the search results with or without the metrics.
They're just selling a shovel though. The ad industry and its money is the root cause behind the gold rush, not the shovel seller.
Deception only has legitimate purposes insofar as "the ends justify the means," and they never do in this instance.
The market has been distorted by VCs and investors who are willing to throw shit tons of money towards anything that "grows" and generates engagement. This pulled the ground out of the model of making products that people pay for - you would make money money (off investors) if you just give away your product than if you make people pay for it. That's how we ended up in the current situation, and there are tons of vested interests (people's entire careers are built on this) in perpetuating the problem even if the system can't ever be sustainable.
The music has to stop at some point though when everything is saturated by advertising. That appears to be now given the current, massive downturn. Investor money is no longer free or easy to come by, so the pendulum will have to swing back to making products funded by its end-customers.
Maybe the advertised products will all be opportunities to make money. Occasionally job listings, mostly crypto coins.
This is why they were advocating for "Concise Titles" instead of "Titles that are Short Enough to Read, but Long Enough to Convey Info!"
But the listing only shows the part you don't read!
My income quote comes from a gas station in a backwater town in the deep woods of Alabama, and I'm not a great guitarist or something amazing worth throwing money at.
LOL, as if Firefox provided a stable API to extensions
