Wow. I just loaded it and then turned off the adblocker and reloaded it. It's like you need another search engine just to find the content in the page hidden amongst all those ads.

I can't believe some people actually use the internet like that all the time.

Yes people are. And it’s the least technically literate people with “outdated” machines and bad connections that slug through the web like this. They don’t know what to trust and often fall prey to deceptive tactics.
There's also a class of people who can just filter out all those distractions much better than many of us, and have a high tolerance for slowness.
Strange, I don't see a single ad for this query (current time in javascript), using Chrome logged into my Google account. Results are good as well.
