When Google used to show organic results front and center and made advertising conspicuous, this was reasonable. Now that there is a pile of undifferentiated advertising on top of organic results, it's borderline fraud.

Now that there is a pile of undifferentiated advertising on top of organic results, it's borderline fraud. One of the things I would like the antitrust investigations to dig into is Google's decision to make ads look more like search results, after a long-held principled stance of clear differentiation between the two. IIRC, Google never did comment publicly on that particular design change. I'm sure any internal discussions on the topic will be fascinating reading.
