Internal emails released during trial discovery, shows Google does manipulate search for increased ad revenue. The email written by a Google VP clearly alludes to the Search Team "working together" with the ads team to meet revenue targets so sales teams make quotas. https://web.archive.org/web/20230919185431/https://www.justice.gov/d9/2023-09/416421.pdf

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1709726778170786297

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
