Yeahhhhh I don't have a ton of sympathy for IAC here, which is apparently doing forced search bar installs and browser hijacking like it's 2005 and apparently made $291 million last year doing so. foxbusiness.com/technology/google-spars-with-barry-dillers-iac-on-marketing-practicesPermalink On twitter.com

Reminds me of my favorite ad tech story: "'Wait, really? That’s what we do?' he remembers thinking. 'We’re that skeezy toolbar company that your grandmother installs that she can’t get out and she’s got seven of ’em and her computer doesn’t work anymore?'" wired.com/2016/05/the-perks-are-great-just-dont-ask-us-what-we-do/Permalink On twitter.com

Imagine being a publicly traded multi-billion dollar company and you are out there making more than a quarter billion dollars hijacking browsers like a sketch mfer and having the gall to complain in public that someone is taking down your browser-hijacking-extensions.Permalink On twitter.com

*brain rewinds* Wait... if IAC's profit from the browser extensions fell 87% over three years to $291 million last year... Does that mean that that IAC was, three years ago.... making $2,238,460,000 off of browser extensions... am I doing that math correctly?!?!Permalink On twitter.com
