When you search for a product on Google or Facebook you're going to see ads. That's literally their business model.
Frankly if I'm researching a new area then I welcome that. It gives me a place to start.
Ads exist because, as a consumer, you have options. Lots of options. Ads are how suppliers reach consumers.
>> reviews
Happy customers are great marketing. Social proof is a primary measure by which we have confidence in what we are buying.
Of course, intrinsically, there's no distinction between a "real" review and a "fake" review. I can write a review about anything, for any reason. Did I use the product? Who knows...
Fundamentally reviews aren't really worth anything. The motivations of the reviewer are unknown. In lots of cases your experience will likely be better or worse than the reviewers.
So, to answer your question, you're stuck with ads and reviews because you are choosing to use platforms that are built on ads and reviews. If you want something different you may want to consider the platform you choose.
As a complete aside; what were you hoping the product search to deliver? I mean, there are lots of offerings in your search. Were you looking for the one with the best web site?
