Organic results from external sites are slowly but surely being displaced by "this is what we think you want to know in concise form" information. With G also showing multiple organic results from the same site it is possible for some searches to only show results from a single external site above the fold. I've noticed recently that there seems to be more whitespace between the paid ad listings on top of the organic results, pushing the latter further down. On my screen (which I think is one or two steps higher than the average res these days) I can only see 4 organic results for some searches.

A search engine pointing at a bunch of sites you have to click through to is so 2000s...
