Rachel Maddow, who is only 48-years-old despite referring to herself as an “oldster,” tweeted out this bizarre rant against Google for daring to fund its search business with ads:
Oldster here. As dependent on Google as anyone.
But! this belligerent new thing where search results jump down the page to make room for un-labeled ads, and then when you click a result, google instead opens a new tab with an ad you weren't trying to click…
Grrr. I'll switch.

And of all the things about Big Tech to rage about, this is what she picks?
Definitely spoiled. I have this device in my hand with access to all the written knowledge of all history, but it’s awful because I have to scroll down on my screen twice. The horror 😆 https://t.co/pG6b0ziYHE
