Has Google even bothered with Foobar for like past 2-3 years? It appears so frequently on non-incognito searches that surely every developer must have seen it by now.

I've never seen it, I assume it's just a US thing

I've never got it and I've been googling programming stuff for almost a decade now.

However, maybe I'm remembering wrong, but a few years ago I was reading an article about it and someone showed a search term that brought it up for them and I tried that term and got it. Dont remember what the search term was, but I think it was something related to one of the popular leetcode-esque algorithms I've never had to do in my hobbyist or professional work.

I've never seen it, but other people in my (non-US) country claim to have seen it. I always assumed it was either my taste in porn or the fact that I'm usually logged out and regularly clear tracking cookies.

FooBar is still being considered. I solved some problems few months ago and was contacted by their recruiter one month after that, they did mention FooBar as the main signal.

I’ve never seen it, live in the US, and I google developer things all the time. Maybe it’s because I work in Ruby and not one of the more googley languages?

I've never seen it, but I assume they only target people in the US.

I've had it hit me twice over the years.

Can't say I've seen it. Guess Google isn't hiring in my country.

I've seen it in the UK last November.
