Am I the only one who uses a search engine while reading comment threads about industries/technologies I am not familiar with? This whole conversation is like two searches away from explaining everything (or a two minute conversation with an LLM I suppose)

No dark patterns to make you spend a longer time on the webpage for ad metrics.
