Lol you think google doesn't do that as well?

Not from Googles point of view, probably...

That's great, if you are Google. I unfortunately, am not Google.

NikolaeVarius May 30, 2017 View on HN

Why do you assume Google doesn't try?

It's not like the google services get much use.

lighthazard May 25, 2019 View on HN

Not as good as Google's :(.

Doesn't seem like a very "Google" thing to do, though.

My experience with Google is that the claim should probably be "Google doesn't do that at the moment".
