Ask HN: Was the free 1st episode of Silicon Valley an elaborate Googlebomb?
3 points by BWStearns on April 10, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
I was looking for a way to watch ep2+ of Silicon Valley and I realized that most searches I would normally use to find places to watch it led to an interminable amount of blog posts and news stories about SV episode 1 being available on youtube. If they didn't intend to wipe out all links to pirate sites then it's a hell of a bonus.


That's probably just because your keywords aligned with these more popular/recent blog posts. "watch silicon valley" would probably return that kind of thing - "silicon valley torrent" might have returned another set of results.


That's not a Googlebomb.


The second episode won't air until April 13th.
