    It’s known as “criti-hype”.

    Google:

    • Criti-hype critics: We have to rein Google in, they spy on absolutely everything you do, and as a result their advertising is like a mind control ray!
    • Google: Hey advertiser, did you hear, even our critics say our advertising is like a mind control ray, that’s why you have to pay us so much.
