This is what happens when you don’t give users control over how search works. The weighting is blatantly user hostile by default because it’s so directed towards people who pay for your eyes. I would pay a massive amount of money for a search engine with a “no commercial results” switch.
Of course paid search introduces class issues. I think we should view search like a public utility because it’s absolutely necessary for surviving the world.
