I miss very often the top box too.
I have learned the relevancy of this top box, but I still miss it very often.
My eyes usually go right to the link with "Official site" tag.
I've heard the effect is called banner blindness.
However I use adblock on every browser. Therefore I have less training than others to ignore ads. When I see one, it just hit me stronger (it's a side effect of adblock).

Weird - I was totally blind to the top box - I ignored it because it was too banner like and kept scanning the results.
Note to DDG - put the cool useful bit Under the place we all expect ads to be.
