I remember once finding a blog post that solved my problem perfectly, then ran a fork bomb right when the problem was solved and crashed my system.
2005 was the peak of web design.
Oh man that version of last.fm, absolutely glorious

The reason for this is because it pushes them higher on Google search.
Now the same page gets visited by people with that problem, people who want to know what a graphics driver is, people who are looking at the definition of computer, ...
It is literally a job to find ways to get higher in search by writing those types of unnecessary long posts.
