On: For some searches the whole screen on Google is now ads

This is how search results for "car rentals new york" look like on my display, there are no organic results above the fold.

As for your question, there is no point in trying to replicate results for the same query, search results and the displayed ads can wildly differ for the same query based on a large number of factors.

That's never been the definition. The fold is the bottom of the viewport on initial load, meaning nothing below the fold is viewable without scrolling. This is an analog to the fold in a newspaper, hiding anything below it.

It seems like most of the claims you've made in the this thread are false.

The issue here is that I’m talking about literally the line break between ads and regular results. There are multiple folds - search widgets, instant results, etc.

Making up your own definition and then getting angry when other people are not using it is certainly an interesting way to debate.

I think your comments in this thread are made in bad faith.

Then they must be made from remarkable ignorance... To be charitable.

So if I have a 2000px tall browser I'm going to see a dozen ads? Why?

[bee_rider → endisneigh]

Well, in this case it exists to delimit between the ads and the bottom of the screen, because the ads have completely crowded out the desired content.
