I’ve been playing around with Perplexity and see potential. While I rarely use Google any longer, the times I do yield pages and pages of sponsored search results. It’s only a matter of time before someone unseats the champ.
I've been a user for a while. Perplexity has utility but not when used as a search engine. It is good for quickly getting answers to straightforward, questions. (You use "Facebook login" as an example. I would argue that shouldn't ever be searched for anyway, that's the job of a browser: just type facebook.com into the address bar, then click on login).
Of course. No argument there. The example you used does prove your point. My point was it's staggering that so many people would rather search for "Facebook" than just enter the URL.

Yep the ads are out of control in the Google SERPs.

Navigational queries account for about 20% of searches. It's something that any search engine needs to be able to handle.
