It just likes a little imoral vs illegal confusion.


You think search engines are immoral? You think we should pay to view the snippets under the results we don't click?


No, I'm saying even though some thing is legal, it could still be imoral. And vice-versa.


I don't think we should pay, I think Google should. They're the ones making profit.


The result of that is either that they wouldn't show snippets or that they would pass the cost on to you. And do you think they profit from showing the snippets of results that are not the result you want to click on?
