Dude, I still don't see why such a response is even needed.
a) EE is the reason people wanted to block sites from google results.
b) EE never has useful info even if you scroll down
conclusion: IDK how EE even made money to begin with. I guess on the suckers. Because I feel that if I sign up I am throwing my money away since nobody is else who I want answers from is dumb enough to sign up.
Furthermore, seeing as how forums are Q&A places as well, and sites scrub forums like mad to "generate content" I have zero proof that EE is in any way genuine content.
