@78322289 @b92dcc07 JFC. If I understand correctly, Google Ads did an end run around Search Quality by *changing the search terms* before passing them to search, this letting Search Quality *technically* achieve their metrics even while the whole show is sold down-river by Ads
@9b377978 @78322289 @b92dcc07 How I imagine that anti-feature was created: “—and that's how we silently append appropriate suicide prevention search terms based on user location.” :D
“Can we sell this silent search term space to advertisers?”
