Could you please explain how Canonical makes money by showing me unwanted ads that make me angry and disappointed?

If searches can‘t separate between different Darwins (or other superficially similar things), the feature should be dropped or be an opt-in option. It would even be better if it just showed random ads, not pretending to have anything to do with my work. I suppose that the revenue for Canonical would be the same.

I don‘t consider operating systems drive-by-shops. It‘s my working tool and ads are distractions.

I am not interested in what other buy or their preferences. The point is: I don‘t want to see ads when I work and I find it degrading to be seen as a customer for anything that may or may not have something to do with my work.

Since you see the bug as a ”feature” and I can‘t imagine myself looking on advertisements I guess have to find myself another OS.
