Really amazing how much money they keep squeezing out search But it's basically impossible to escape the ads on it these days, so it's not surprising.

>t it's basically impossible to escape the ads on it these days, so it's not surprising ublock origin seems to do fine. Unless you are suggesting that the ad-ladden SEO'd pages are their real product?

Also PiHole is a great tool. I suggest it it you Walt a very good ads shield :)

Even with ublock I'll stumble into a google ad for when I search for something like a restaurant or hotel

Not my experience.

Man, Google’s poor search results sure do pay well /s. I wonder if Google will make any big acquisitions this year

Not sure if sarcasm or not. These results demonstrate that the HN zeitgeist about the utility of Google is not related to its actual utility to the public at large.

Most people want the lowest common denominator information. They want to know what most other people think and want.

HN and their desire for niche information is just not representative of the average human.
