>[It isn't "Gruen transfer" because it's an ad to make money.]
Why would that particular carve-out be considered part of the definition of "Gruen transfer?"
Seems more like clicking on ads is the end and Gruen transfer (via intentionally confusing ads with search results) is the means.
FTA: "The 'Transfer' part is the moment that you, as a consumer surrounded by a deliberately confusing layout, lose track of your original intentions." This still seems perfectly applicable to me?
FTA: "The last time I checked Facebook, maybe 10% of my feed was updates from friends. The rest was a combination of ads, memes, and influencer marketing videos..." So putting ads in lists where they don't belong is explicitly included in the definition, despite your attempt to exclude it.
