This is pretty mild actually. If you do a google search for any remotely "salesworthy" word, like say, "microphone" (because you want a wikipedia article on how they work maybe, or links to organic results for whatever comes up, you get absolutely flooded by a whole pile of sales offers and filters as if Google were fucking Amazon. I've had it happen with all kinds of searches, even some that weren't at all for a product.

It didn't used to manifest in this way with Google results, and it's a ridiculous beshitting of the basic idea of just using its search.
