> I typed in Midjourney to search for Midjourney because I wanted to use Midjourney.

Thanks for the anecdote, but everyone’s advertising experience is different — that’s the whole point of targeted advertising. It doesn’t invalidate the OP’s point, though.

FWIW, I just used the Google app on iOS and got one ad (for artlist.io) before the midjourney.com link. A lot of people use Google this way to get to a named website, btw.

Impossible to know beforehand if it’s midjourney.com , midjourney.ai, getmidjourney.io or some such other idiocy - search engines exist for a reason.

Also - well-known that ad, sorry, search engines might well give two people different results for the same query.
