A while back I got laid off, in the short term after that I created a bot that automatically clicks their ad at the top of the Google search results.

And then I forgot about it. I had lunch with the COO yesterday - he said their ad spend is out of control.

This is electric, quite surprised this worked so well. Did you have to get fancy with header information or is this more of an auto gui type bot?

I had no idea [he says sarcastically]
I get it. I'm still tangentially in the same industry.

I did some more data analysis this morning and the company actually had one of their largest wholesalers run some ads last year that dropped the company out of the top spot - and they got 84k clicks before they suspended their ad spend.

But dog hype and what dog owners get away with in terms of occupying human spaces, jumping on strangers with dirty paws, going to a friends house and having the dogs harass you for food, and obsession on the dating apps is next level obnoxious.

Dogs can be great, not a hater. But if you can’t control your dog you’re a massive piece of shit for imposing that on everyone else.
