Re: Confidence Trick
When I use Google, I'm not being tricked into thinking I'm using a search engine. It really is one. It really is useful. Very useful. So it's valuable.
And it's free.
It also comes with adverts. I understand they'll use my habits to tailor the ads I see. I don't really care about that. In fact, I think if I am to see adverts, I would prefer them to be relevant to me.
If that's my 'payment' to them, then it's hardly like a confidence trick is it?
