The internet has become from being a source of information to a marketplace everyone wants to make a quick buck instead. The times where you can just search for information without being tracked what and when you search, is over. I never received spam or when, i had known it came from the shady website i signed up with. Today, my whereabouts, my age and sex are exploited as information for useless and silly spambots. They are not even trying to entertain me. And all that because using a mobile phone, goole knows where you are and where you are working. That estimates the income, making more stupid wine offers possibel, im non-alcoholic, that info they didnt get because i called help hotlines and those numbers are not listed and info is not legal to share. But well. If one wants to build a free search engine and knowledge base, has to fight with users not knowing that the world is round and alternatives available. It starts in school, kids end up in front of Windows Computers, Word is a text processor and google-ing stuff is the way to go. It goes to that extent that recommending alternatives, people refuse it, even if its better because they dont know it. Humans are sometimes stuck in their behavior.
