It’s a well-known fact that Google spies on users, which isn’t anything new. However, the fact that they are now using this as a reference in a marketing meme is insulting.

Google is now making jokes at customers expense, using memes for promotional ads on Reddit, and saying that they don’t care about you because they know people will still buy their ad-platform spyware products.

Well, I say 🖕Google! Your corporate capitalism greed gets another 🖕! Oh, and before I forget, 🖕too reddit.

Edit: removed mention of a certain country

    I assume you’re not in the US and not familiar with that?

    No, other side of the world. No, not familiar with that.

      It’s a very common game here, especially for children (and has been for decades)… Here’s an example https://youtu.be/8N2Ha1FuBr4?si=XN9QeSYPrg1JzBuR

      It’s very similar to where is Waldo if you’ve heard of that, except “Waldo” can be anything the person who’s running the game wants it to be.

        Thx for showing me that. I had no idea. Still to me, someone who lives on the other side of the world opposite of America, to see the phrase “I spy… Do you…” From Google felt a lot like, well, my post says it all.

        Appreciate you educating me on that.

          All good, culture is weird. Definitely a strange reference by Google to begin with
