I hate the fact that one of the biggest and richest corporations in the world, is just a massive ad spamming dumpster fire. Imagine the good a powerful company like this could do, if 90% of their effort wasn't put into cramming ever more ads into people's eyeballs.
That's most of their business model, what would motivate them to do something else?
Lol, how do you think they got to be "one of the biggest and richest corporations in the world?" It wasn't be giving away internet search results for free.
