Because it hadn't been corrected; but now that it has, let's just leave it, please.

If Momo did love Marigold, she would go get a job and not force Marigold to eat Ramen Noodles, which are loaded with sodium and are going to hinder her weight loss plans.

....juuuuuuuuust in case you're being completely serious
I would say the numerous times Momo has expressed desire to get a job, including saying 'I'll get a job!' and also applying for a job probably means .....................................
she'll try get a job and may in fact succeed in getting a job.
Unless you're commenting from the future about story progression we haven't seen yet
that is a possibility

Applied for a job: Yes, when Marigold said she couldn't afford one.
Said shed get a job: Yes, after Marigold shot blood out of her nose and it was assumed she wouldn't buy it.
Every "I love you" since has been AFTER she got her chassis and was told she didn't need to get a job. When Marigold said shed just cutback on her own spending, Momo did not say "Nonsense, I'll just get a job so you don't have to suffer for my selfish desires.". Nope, she just hugged her and said I love you since Marigold would put all the hardship on herself. And somehow this is spun as Momo is the greatest robot ever? Give me a break.

Uh. I guess my grandpa's generation messed this up for good.
There's still aggravation (on EU-level, meanwhile) about the expulsion of the german minority, after the war.
Guess you're stuck being part Czech, then. :)

Re: Robotic love.
The argument that love expressed after an extravagant gift doesn't hold, especially with humans. It may or may not be manipulative, but often such a gift is an expression of love from the gifter, and so will elucidate such a reaction from the giftee ("I don't have anything like this to give you in return to express my love, so I'll just have to tell you how I feel"). The fact is that, spoken or not, Momo's loved Mari since we first met them. She cares for and about her in the most fundamental of ways. And this extravagant gift has shown Momo that Marigold considers her as so much more than a housekeeping, advice giving robot - that Mari cares for Momo as well, something that may not have been evident in the past.
OK, all that being said - that's the human side of things. The assumption in this comic is that somehow, hman emotions are in these AI's, for better or worse. Momo "bonded" to Marigold, and now it's clear Mari has bonded back.
What happens when a lover enters the picture for Marigold? Especially a human one? Jealous Momo? We've seen some ofthat from Pintsize. Oris she one of those that cares enough about her human to let it go? This really complicates things!
We're not entering new territory, really - but I think we are seeing the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
