IIRC, and I'm quite confident about this particular one, ads used to be served based on the site you were visiting or the search had typed.
Some people hate all ads.
For me I felt old google ads were OK.
Some people will say this isn't a good enough business model and to that I'll point out that google was widely profitable back then as well, again IIRC.
Google ads on desktops on Google’s site aren’t that bad. But, because of limited real estate, almost all ads on mobile devices are bad. Web page ads on other sites have gotten so annoying that the web is horrible without an ad blocker.
Strangely enough, ads in feeds like Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter don’t annoy me as much.
I also think the ads in the iOS App Store are horrible.
