  • dumb The site agrees to talk to The New York Times, creating such bad PR that we can ensure nobody will ever shop there ever again. Great work, NYT.
  • smart Google then changed its algorithm, saying ”being bad is, and hopefully will always be, bad for business in Google’s search results.” source
