I guess Google threatened to sue Wired? It's pretty obvious that Google is showing profitable products and click farms instead of relevant information you're actually looking for.
My mom almost got scammed while buying tickets online because google placed an ad site before the real site in search results. Thankfully she always asks me or my sister before buying stuff online.
Same thing happened to me. That was The Day I Dumped Google.
