The problem of the 1990 is that all 13500 articles on a certain topic all originated in one or two often laughably wrong academic papers. That problem is still around.

But now, you have to wade through 50 ad sites before even getting to the first real article. And the ads hound you for weeks. This is not an improvement

I keep hearing the concern of ads getting brought up. Am I the only one who feels it's way down the list of concern?

I can find any academic article without encountering a single ad. Ads are annoying, sure, and the whole tracking thing is unsettling, but it doesn't significantly destroy my ability to use the internet the same way the proliferation of deep web (reddit, twitter, facebook, tiktok etc.) does.
