If you are referring to me, I gave you my explanation of why I thought you were dissing Baron. You are dragging this out into some giant external event outside of our discussion. I am not trying to "get you expelled" I was simply porffering my opine on why people like you vanish from this forum.
I have a theory (but no analytics) that the politics section pulls in a lot of google search traffic. Make of that what you will (no cream of the crop there).
I find if I use google search, ET links never comes up on page 1 of the search unless I specifically add the word 'elitetrader'.
Google and maybe other search engines use algorithms to factor in your IP address location and other things to give you search results that target you ??? For example, I intentionally saved a few links to search results prior to traveling to different countries recently. Each time I used those exact same links in three different countries on the same laptop that I took with me...the search results and the ads they pump were very different. The difference became more dramatic when I changed to my other laptop with a different language. Simply, ET links don't come up on page 1 on one computer while searching when in one country but they do come up on another computer in another country. Last of all, I had a discussion here in the past (I think it was back in 2020) with the username "Wallet" about some members or someone in the Political section was uploading links to racist posts and many other political message posts to social media like Twitter, Facebook and such... Maybe for the purpose to attract like-minded individuals to ensure those messages get indexed by search engines like Google. Wallet strongly disagreed with me until someone else chimed in that was located in another country and posted his search engine results. wrbtrader
google is no longer a search engine but an advertising agency. The search results are not by relevance but by what the algo's determined will have you part with your cash
