Google needs to do a lot more to improve the top search results. It was a shock just a few days ago when I told my younger sister to Google something and then I had to tell her "no... scroll down about 2/3rds of the page" because everything above the fold was ads and junk sites.

I have to now not only apply the wadsworth constant to youtube videos but also to search results.

Well, if you're on this site you must have heard something about adblockers? That's the first halve of your problem fixed.
Well, my moral conundrum is that I am fine with ads and I don't want to block them wholesale. I just only want to block bad actors.

Now in this specific case we were using a computer that had been freshly wiped, so nothing like an adblocker had been setup yet. (I use brave on my main work computer)
