I care that searching for "Dropbox" doesn't give you "Dropbox" in the first page of results, because of some knob Apple is able to turn any time they want.



When a “page” of search results consists of 1 ad and 1 result, it’s really not very meaningful to talk about “pages”.


"Below the fold" doesn't have meaning? Is that not what he was effectively saying?


“Below the fold“ implies that the result wasn’t on screen. The second search result is always on screen, even if you have a tiny iPhone from six years ago. When you search for “dropbox“ and the second result is the Dropbox app adorned with the Dropbox logo, is anyone ever going to even notice the first result?


The exact quote was "In fact, Dropbox wasn't even visible on the first page".
