It gets even worse / weirder - I've found if you search for products that might not even exist, you get made up lists of products.

A while ago, I wondered if there were such a thing as a microwave + toaster oven combo (there are several convection oven + microwave combos on the market, but none can toast like a toaster oven).

Here's the top non-sponsered result: https://www.chefspencil.com/10-best-microwave-toaster-oven-c...

And the second result: https://thebrilliantkitchen.com/best-microwave-toaster-oven-...

Sure sounds like there's at least 10 of these items in existence for me to choose from - but none of the items in these lists are actually both microwaves and toaster ovens.




I've even had this with mis-spelled words (i.e. "the best Bivycle of 2021" or something like that); I wonder how the f*ck those sites are being generated.
