So I find it fascinating how there's always the odd typo, the old logo, the impossible combination of iPhone needing an antivirus, etc and I refuse to believe is incompetence.
At this point it must be intentional that there's always something uncanny about these fake pages. That google logo is so old that if I see it I immediately know to get out of there.

Entirely intentional because they want to filter out anyone who can see how scammy it looks, so they don't waste their time. This is bulk spam stuff. If they are actually targeting you, it will look very real.
Even in the unlikely case that they get paid for achieving some later payoff, the "work" on the way there is almost certainly 100% automated so there is no harm in spraying the attack more widely (as opposed to Nigeria scams where pre-AI, pre-slave-farm, the scammers would have to invest significant amounts of a very limited resource - their time - on each victim).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Alas Medium interrupted my journey to that nirvana.
I have blocked medium.com because of that. Same as the SEO spam dev.to. It's actually interesting how often I end up seeing the uBlock 'blocked' page because of it. And how blind I end up being to the serp domains. I of course can click the bypass button on a case by case basis.
... why is the hxxps:// URL in the article linkified? It's a URL scheme created to explicitly mark URL as unsafe.
How does Apple allow this? Here I thought the App Store was supposedly superior to the Android eco-system and that's why Apple justified the insane 30% tax on developers back then
Google Play was also 30%?
