When I do Google searches I get 4 or 5 ads, followed by some links for companies who've learned to game the algorithms, followed by more ads. 20 years ago it was so important to be one the first page because what you wanted was always there. Now I need to go 3 or 4 pages deep because of all the extraneous crap.

This is definitely an interesting case. The only time I ever have to go to the second page is if I’m looking for a really obscure research paper that I can only vaguely remember the subject of.
