Your assumption is that the time factor can't be handled by the user. Users try somewhere else when a page doesn't load, and in my opinion that is fine. Granted, it's my opinion. Perhaps most users don't agree and here we are.

If it is truly the best information, it is what I want and I will wait. If I trust that Google can give me the best information then I would be willing to wait. I give up easily now because I can't trust Google to give me quality results. I will not wait for an ad bloated news aggregator.

When a user does a search, clicks on a result, that result does not have what they want so they hit back, and then they click on another result that is a failure of the search engine. "Users can decide the site is worthless after they click" is an opportunity for somebody to come up with a better system.

I guess I simply don't agree. The search engine should give me the best information, period. It does not, and one of the reasons it does not is because it is busy prioritizing things that aren't relevant to content.
