there's enough nuance here to sink a bulk carrier so I'm just gonna go with "they don't take action to stamp it out, but also aren't lost enough to be actively boosting it",

which is no consolation but is an important distinction, because if we start pushing on that, the people trying to keep it pointed away from that will tend to leave first to peer pressure. which, perhaps paradoxically, makes things worse.

not that i care for the company, just, grand strategy I guess. The giants fighting each other gives everyone else room to operate under

hey nire im a complete stranger who saw your post on the wilds of the internet and know a people who works with google ads, do you have the search string that produced this? can you toss me a screencap if it's not too revelaing?

I sent it to the feedback form, I don't have the ads ID but I got it searching for either hypocratic oath or do no harm (unrelated), I'll try to dig through search history when I wake up and am back at a computer.

but it's one of those things where it being served at all signals a problem somewhere downstream, though i know it's complicated and automated. and maybe there's some legal neutrality requirement (and i get that it's not trivial to play whack a mole) but it seems like sourcing a deny list of domains from the hate site tracking things should probably exist

unrelated relatedly, and relatively minor:

it may have been fixed because I feedbacked it last week, but if you have a unit on the end of the first number, search bar calculator strips leading decimals, leading to .5k to be parsed as 5000, but 0.5k still works.
