Hooray! Google is putting another loosely governed cryptic restraint on me that could force me to pay more, based on a variable that I may or may not have any control over like “load times.”
I’m always fascinated at how some people like to pile more and more rules on themselves that limit their ability to succeed and subject them to an even higher level of despotic rule.
It’s really like they know something I don’t.

There is a difference between improvements and punitive changes.
Load time is a bullsh*t factor. Google is making the Internet less diverse and accessible by punishing people for not having money to throw behind their websites.

I like that Google incorporates new variables into their algorithms. It forces us to constantly improve our sites in ways we normally wouldn’t have and it continues to improve user experiences.
…Making Google ads just as good to click on as the organic results.

Good Blog… I like the name “you get what you pay for”
