RE: Microsoft Bing’s Brief History: The Steep Climb to Number One

Don't read too much into it. Was thinking for a second you might have done a typo and you're urging me to re-read my own comment, because I unknowlingly committed perjury or some crime or such :-). Maybe, but if didn't miss anything me "farming" points is really just me building streaks with my personal Microsoft account. No sock puppets or anything, just using their bonus point system within their guidelines. Although I'm not 100% sure if Amazon won't end up locking my account, because it gets flagged due to some weird technicality regarding vouchers. But again, I assume technically I'm not doing anything stricly verboten, besides installing Edge on Linux maybe hehe.

Again though, makes you wonder how many other users might be doing the same and how credible those statistics are. Honestly, if I wasn't having a monetary incentive to use Bing I wouldn't use it at all. The search engine iself isn't that great, besides their image search. The latter seems at least above average.
