Companies sometimes pay search engine companies to have their websites located at the top of the search results. Do you think this is fair/ethical?

Answer:

I really don't think that it is fair or ethical.

Step-by-step explanation:

When companies pay to put their websites at the top it is known as an ad. They are in top search engines like the ones we use every day. I believe this is unethical because it often results in confusion and sometimes misleads the user as the titles often use clickbait.
