Why would you want what you searched for when instead you could have ads and fascist propaganda?

I didn’t realize til now the logo looks just like polyend
Oh wow, they’re almost identical. That may come back to bite Dan on the ass.
Eh, it's different enough and they're in different markets anyway. Theirs is rounded at the bottom but Pixelfed's is straight.
Pixelfed's is straight
Not the way I use it
IANAL but I reckon there’s enough similarity for Polyend to consider chatting to their legal team. The Pixelfed logo is also actually (inverse) black on the apps, similar to the point where they’re just about the same if you squint.
Well it's an ad, so capitalism will get an edge
Americas big tent
I see this in Australia.
iOS vs Android, and region I expect. Although I’m in the UK, and I can’t imagine it’s that popular here.

Also on iPhone, got Red Note ad instead. I wonder if it’s regional or if it’s kinda random?
Edit: I refreshed and now it’s Snapchat.
Edit: refreshed, it’s now AOL hahaha
You’ve got mail! <3
I hope that AD is pay per view and not pay per click
When I see an ad to that, I download it on an old device, then uninstall it and give it a 2 star review.

By “big tent” they must mean a circus tent.
Fuck. For a second there I thought it was an ad in Lemmy, and was enraged that this shit was pushed. Don't care me like that
The ad on top is randomly generated, and it is a paid app for a social media site. If you run the search again, it will come up with a different app on top. It might be Snapchat, Instagram, or through social, or any other social media app.
Yeah as I say, I know why it’s there, and that you will see different ones. It just caught my eye because of the likely wildly different ideals of the two apps’ customers.

Same thing happened to me. I went to download Pixelfed yesterday after deleting instagram finally. Truth Social came up first.
