- Back in 1999, Google was relatively new and not well known. It was the clean, blank search screen and highly relevant results that got me, whereas Yahoo, AOL, et al were messy.
  
  Google was the OG tech version of giving people a high quality product to put all the competition out of business, then slowly start squeezing as much money from them as possible with complete disregard for product quality or user experience

  Then Google ruined it further by injecting all kinds of ads n shit.
