I want to fix the title of this article so badly.
Hey,

What would you keep ? :)

I'd drop the 's' in 'wants' and keep the rest. Or drop 'does' from the sentence and remove the question mark instead.
Corrected! Thanks. English is not really my strong suit. :)
It's supposed to be "Why does Google want...". As a non-native English speaker myself, I cringed and am wondering if this article with a grammatical mistake in the 4th word of the title is worth reading...

I eat, you eat, he eats

I do eat -> Do I eat

You do eat -> Do you eat

He does eat -> Does he eat (and not "does he eats")

Google is famous for dropping services on a whim. This one's going to be a doozy. Profitable, too.
Because they are a bunch of lightweight cocksmokers.

Google is the world's biggest advertising company. It makes its money by offering advertisers the highest return possible on their advertising dollars. Google is able to do that by predicting what you will click on before you click, and charging advertisers a premium to make sure the link that's underneath your mouse or your finger when you click is going to their product site.

How does Google know what you are likely to click on?

Yes, let’s let an ad company track our spending habits. I don’t see any problem here.
Thee is no way I would trust a company that has such a cavalier attitude towards its customers with anything remotely as important as finances.
