Yesterday I searched "apache kafka" on my phone because I can never remember if it's apache.kafka.org or kafka.apache.org (it's the latter, the former is registered by an Italian developer), and I had to scroll past five or six "sponsored" results from managed Kafka vendors to get the actual result.

Nevermind the changes to the actual algorithm, it just blew me away that the actual result was below the cut.

How do you even view the web especially on mobile without an ad blocker?

I have an ad blocker, but it's not aggressive enough to remove sponsored search results.

Which one do you have? 1Blocker for iOS removed an ad for Confluent when I did your same search before I disabled it.
