Well, at least it held true to its name that your mid journey through the page was where you found it..

I had to say this three times before I finally laughed out loud, mid-journey!

I'm surprised the AI Google often add to the SERPs isn't filling up half the page.

Paying an entity that uses my unique content in their AI so traffic to my website is reduced by almost 40%? Indeed: fix it or just kill it.

i've long thought there was no legit way to git gud with google's search without spending alot of money on advertising, generally being popular and whatever other behind the scenes human sacrifices or blood rituals to get higher on the list. it's like how stock trading is really just insider rigged gambling. the cake is a lie. shoot my tin foil hat slipped off for a second there.

To be fair, it could be worse - your sponsored content/ads could be preceded with the AI-slop box that consumed a small pool amount of water to come up with some nonsensical answer to your query :P

You don't know any other companies than Google and Midjourney, that's why you have to watch ads to educate yourself about alternatives. Otherwise you will end up with what you call "everything is wrong with that monopoly".

Ads in nodejs, apt, whatever, they are exist for a reason. If you open your own search engine, nobody will know about it's existence until you buy ads. These ads are free for you to watch. Free education. Just get used to ads.
