It’s about the corrupting influence of pure scammy ambition. Even if Google doesn’t have that, it plays host to plenty.

I clicked on the first link, a Google sponsored link, because it seemed to be what I was looking for. After a few minutes of looking around on the website, I discovered it was a scam.
