  • SEO is one reason that’s less common.

    No it isn’t. SEO is about gaming the search engines to place their data ahead of everything whether relevant or not.

    Yahoo was fantastic in it’s time because it was human curated. No SEO could bullshit a person reading the page and categorizing it.

    Google was fantastic at the start because SEO couldn’t game the system. Google was famous in the early days for maintaining quality by keeping their algorithms secret and constantly changing so that SEO couldn’t break their search.

    I’m speaking as someone who was first on the Internet in the 80’s.






  • Cities have a medallion system to prevent congestion of taxis on the roads. If there was a problem, increasing the number of medallions and scheduling surge pricing (like NYC has done with all cars now) would have improved service.

    Alternately, simply declaring Uber a taxi service and subject to employment laws would have fixed most everything.

    I guess since flying is a hassle, I should buy a jet and land it in parking lots to make it convenient for consumers. So what if a few hundred die a year if tens of thousands have easier air travel.
