It's pretty effective too, I often ask colleagues to download this or that app and just giving its name, but they keep falling for Google Ads. Now I send them an URL instead.

Then I read this and realized I have not seen those google search ads in years unless I'm setting up a new machine. I always found the 8 ads before results to be absolutely evil and now its causing real damage.
