Your assumption that ads would increase is not supported by any data. What we do know is that Google in their anticompetitive position over the last several years has continually increased ad space on search to the point that many searches return all ads above the fold.
So we've established we can't trust Google. Now we try something else.
- LatteLazy 4y agoMy assumption is based on the idea that when we reduce the price of ads (the whole point of competition apparently) ad buyers will buy more. If you think in-efficient monopoly google has a lot of ads, wait until you see an efficient ad-having set of competitive google shards...
- yucky 4y agoWe don't need to make assumptions though. I use Brave search and barely see any ads. Google has the market dominant position and it's so many ads that it impairs the quality of results. Which is why I stopped using it. So no, your assumption has proven to be incorrect.
