Yea. Google isn't the reason why these news organizations are losing money.

I can't speak for the role of facebook and other social media, but another major culprit would be the thousands of low effort click-bait ad-driven blogs and news aggregators on the other hand, that do zero original reporting but just repaste the same stuff from the original news websites, which also junk up the google search results even worse.

This is troubling. wtf does this mean?

So if I open Chrome Incognito to briefly search for "leather couches" on Bing.com, and then restart the entire browser, will Google and its advertisers start showing me ads of leather couches everywhere?
