Just because you click on it that doesn’t make it accurate.

Given the choice between clicks/engagement and accuracy, is pretty clear Google's for the former is what got us into this hell hole.

Yup, if you have to repeat your search 3 times, you're seeing 3x the ads. If you control most of the market, where are your customers going to go? Most will just deal with it and search more.
