The Verge published this spam article about the "best printers of 2024" to demonstrate how terrible Google's search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search "best printer" on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

I did lol, why the hell would I recommend it otherwise?

Not directly saying that you're doing this, but c'mon, you know the answer. Why would anyone recommend a paid product?

There is a free trial and you can check out if it’s worth it for you btw

Nice! I didn't know there was a trial. Good to know.

You can also filter out the quora and other shitty websites results, which is nice

Oh, now we're talking!! That's very cool.

Cause the free alternatives are trash, so… it’s not like “free is better” is always true
