I'd love to know the rate of return on ads that show up when you search for something. Does anyone actually want to buy anything from an intrusive search result? I can't imagine it's worth the aggravation.
To hear that they're pulling back from it in the future means we've been suffering on some executive's hope that we're just waiting to buy more all the time.
Too little, too late for many of their previous users.
