Big surprise. It’s almost as if internet 1.0 shook out the way it did for a reason, and for all the complaining about ads, fast forward 25 years and consumers still fundamentally refuse to pay for search.

It’s the same reason the phone book was also free and ad supported pre-internet.

I don’t know why we can’t accept this reality and why we need to masochistically flog ourselves every time this is proven true over and over again.
