But the parent comment gave a very plausible suggestion for how Google can do this in a very low maintenance way. Yes, there is abuse management, but now that they're read-only I'd expect this to fall off pretty fast. Google's first business is access to information about links. You'd think they would be more careful about propagating link rot. Unless they _want_ link rot, as they're much better positioned to handle changes in links than any search engine entrant? |

That does make sense - the more people who stumble upon broken links an choose to use them to find information, the more traffic they get and can earn from ads with. Remember their experiments with Chrome hiding the URL(!) last year?
