An interesting deep-dive into how Google profiles and values different users.

It highlights that even though the service is “free”, the sheer value each user holds to Google from their data and ad-revenue. And with that, the impact you can have by leaving them.

    Are you talking about the banner for each subsection which is the same color as the product or platform’s primary branding color?

      The “warning red” is supposed to mirror the brand color?

      Because then it would need to be the same color ass the icons. This way it looks like a signal color on top.

      I e. This one, informiak mail is something I clearly should not touch, without ever having heard of them.

        Yes, they’re all just the brands’ colors altered slightly to fit the style of the site. I really am struggling to understand what is confusing about this.

          For me: paragraph shapes and colors convey meaning. It’s as if someone chose to have a red exclamation mark ‼️ as their logo and uses it inline.

          Without knowing what it is it looks like a call to action.

          Many of these comparison images and pages use color coding to quickly convey information. So I searched for meaning that wasn’t there … .

          In short l: my brain sees “red” and searched what I was warned against.
