Anyone else who tend to click on the link below instead of the one above?

All the time

Never clicked the first option, even before it was an ad, just always clicked either second or third depending on the URL

theres an ad?
also. now im intrigued to know why i get less results

@C0D4 you must have a blocker installed? Also Google personalizes search results based on its profile of you.

@RememberMe I do, but I turned it off for this example.

Personalise shouldn’t mean filter out completely, but then content bubbles do exists 😣

Yes, so the advertiser don't have to pay for that click

Only time I click ad link is if it's a service I don't like so that they'll lose money to Google with that click.

hahaha

fun fact I can’t open either one right now 🤦‍♂️

uBlock Origin makes me choose the one that's not an ad.

*laughs in ddg*

I don't click on anything that looks like an ad. I don't even care to find out what it is because I assume it will be shit anyway. Next level banner blindness. Although uBlock does most of the work for me most of the time.

I always click below, because Google doesn't need more ad money.

We never believe on ads buddy ;p

I only click to make them pay!
*evil laughter*

Depends on the product I'm searching for.
Google AdWords will sometimes charge per click. Also clicks on non sponsored links count as organic traffic.

So if it's a company or product I like, I click the lower link to save them the cost.

If it's a company / product I hate, I'll click the link above. I may not even download 😈
