- ipaddr 5y agoApple is a common word. Apple support could be a farm selling apples. If it was related to Apple the company. It could be a third-party selling ad repair services and support or educational material. You can't ban ads because someone may not notice they are clicking an ad vs a normal search result. If you care you make the difference clearer. Should there be a google-lite page that would be a filtered starting point for people like this?
- SkyPuncher 5y agoSo, the company that's advertising, do they sell farm apples or do they do tech that somewhat impersonates Apple, one of the largest companies in the world.
- ipaddr 5y agoI can't click on a link in an image so I wouldn't know If malware installed I would expect google to detect and disable that ad. She clicked an ad. Removing ads from search results should be the goal. She made a mistake. Google blended ads with results. She did not realize she was clicking an ad.
