Does owning the search engine and thus being able to hide your competitors actually make you superior?

Is this actually what the consumer wants, or merely what the consumer gets?

> No, literally nobody has ever wanted to be directed to "foundem", which is a scam.

Could you defend the statement that "foundem" is a scam? If it really was then that adds important context to the ruling, but I'll need something more concrete than hyperbole.

Foundem's business model was pay for placement. Paid placement is categorically a scam against the reader.

Not pay-for-inclusion?
