U.S. Accuses Google of Illegally Protecting Monopoly

I would like to see data on Google's revenue distribution per user, guessing it would be very lopsided. Some users are clicking ads for 50%+ of their searches. DuckDuckGo users are different because they most likely at minimum know the difference between a search result and an ad.

There's no way that "some users" (implying a significant proportion) are clicking ads 50% of the time after they do a search. that would be a very rare duck indeed.

We've heard of this pattern:

1. Search Facebook login

2. Click first link

This user probably clicks a lot of ads.
