It can get so bad that one is only searching a database of ads. Where the "content" is poorly disguised advertisement. I have found various "search engines" like this over the years. They tend to disappear after a short while.
It always makes me wonder: Who the heck uses these "search engines"?
Their existence suggests there is some completely captive audience to target, e.g., where the audience only knows one source for searching.
An audience that is not going to "reject" the results let alone evaluate them. Even if the results are poorly disguised advertisements. Because this audience is apparently incapable of locating another "search engine".
Perhaps this is also what happens when competition is stifled through anticompetitive practices. People never come to know what they are missing.
