Yup. Financial constraints with full financial accountability. No more
annoying spam designed to separate you from your money, without paying
the ISP. Do a Google search. What percentage of what you get back is
Google ads? 50%? In the future, you will get back an entire page, with
a little "click here for your results" down at the bottom of the third
screen. All the rest will be ads. Click the link. Same thing. The
third time, you'll get your results, in a three inch column of light
grey background with dark grey text. Both sides will be full of more
ads, in full color with lots of blinking.
