“With the cost of ads going down and the number of ads sold going up, the market is working,” Google’s blog said. “The DOJ’s case risks inefficiencies and higher prices—the last thing that America’s economy or our small businesses need right now.”

So uh. Google. We need to talk. None of us likes this. Nobody likes this. We don’t want cheaper and more ads. We don’t like ads. We especially don’t like your firehose force-feeding of ads to us. Your argument here is “it’s good because it helps us make money”. We do not care that it’s your business model, because your business model is objectively annoying and harmful to society.
