One does not go to google to get ads, one goes to google to get results, which ads subtract from.
GP was likely talking about a dedicated space, say ads or offers.com.
- native_samples 5y agoNo, lots of people absolutely go to Google to get ads. How many people do you think are looking for Wikipedia when they search for something like "flowers" and it's February 14th? This idea people seem to have here that nobody likes or ever needs/uses ads is just plain wrong. These businesses aren't the size they are because ads are useless noise.
- timeon 5y agoIs it big deal to specify in your search what you want to do with the "flowers"?
- native_samples 5y agoYes! Getting rid of the need to learn special syntaxes and awkward commands is a big part of why people use search so much. Again, I really cannot stress this enough. Nobody outside of the HN bubble thinks the way this works is a problem.
