In our project 3 design, our team change the display of the searching result. We integrate all the episode of the TV shows and display them in a more official way. Before we do this change, YouTube would not show the set of the TV shows at the first position. Our user's mental model would be that if they want to search any episode of a TV show, the first position must be its official channel and they can find all the episodes they want. They have no need to find the video from clips or ads and have no need to find the official channal in too many steps.

This mental model contrasts with the implementation model because when they are searching the TV shows, what most users want to see is not those ads but those episodes or certain clips. They can get what they want directly and efficiently. However, the implementation model is basically let the programmers use ads to draw users' attention and make profits, but not design from users' side.
