I don't think you understand what the study is about. It is not about sponsored and unsponsored. RTFA, or at least the abstract.
Type "Where is the best burger near me" and you get google + results mapped, along with other hits using Google's algorithm. None of these results are sponsored. Google's algorithmic results, the study says (and this is true in my rudimentary testing), are NOT mapped. Consumers (and businesses) are hurt by this behavior.
If I ask GOOGLE where the best burger joint is then I expect GOOGLE to respond.
Same as if I asked YELP where the best burger joint is then I expect YELP to respond.
I don't see the problem here.
I have an iphone and I many times have tried to ask siri questions and get a stupid response.
I immediately switch and ask google. I have actually gotten to the point that although it
is easier to ask siri a question I find myself taking the extra step to ask google first because
google is much more likely to give me a good response to my query.
You're missing the point, again read the article.
Yes, we expect Google to respond, but we expect Google to give us the results drawn from the whole web using their search algorithm, not just from Google+.
This company is really a joke. Instead of creating innovation or making products, year after year they're just making headlines for doing stupid things.
A few years ago I bought Razer Deathadder, it failed miserably within 1 month. That piece of garbage had annoying 'double-click' problem. I agree with OP, stay away from Razer. It's a high price piece of garbage.

So, I did the only sensible thing, and have just deleted my linkedin profile...
I'm sure it left no trace at all.

3/4 of STEM workers flee the field due to substandard pay and working conditions compared to other jobs they can get.
I'm surprised the number is that high. Care to share the source?
