Best printer 2024, best printer for home use, office use, printing labels, printer for school, homework printer you are a printer we are all printers

After a full year of not thinking about printers, the best printer is still whatever random Brother laser printer that’s on sale.

The Verge published this spam article about the “best printers of 2024” to demonstrate how terrible Google’s search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search “best printer” on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

      Could you elaborate? You’re saying you’re going to google for programming issues, but at the same time devs don’t do SEO?

        Sure. What I mean is that when I search for issues in duck duck go, I don’t see relevant results. But then I put “!g” and what I want (usually stack overflow or GitHub) comes to the top.

        So it makes sense that programming sites do tags and keywords properly to optimize things for the user instead of trying promote their site no matter what.

        At least that’s my guess anyway.

          Stack overflow has been one of the consistently reliable googleable sites for decades.

          It’s a shame Quora has strayed so far from their initial cloning of SO’s site. It seems to be turning into AskYahoo 2 fast from the results I’ve seen lately.
