Ed Zitron hat sich in seinem aktuellen Newsletter sehr ausführlich darüber beschwert, dass das Google Management es zugelassen hat, dass die Google-Suche so scheiße geworden ist und findet da deutliche Worte:

I’d argue that this makes Google, and by extension executives like Sundar Pichai and Google Search lead Prabhakar Raghavan, some of the greatest villains in business history. While one can’t forget about the damage done by Meta and Mark Zuckerberg’s failure to maintain an honest platform, allowing Google Search to decay so severely for any reason — let alone a profit-centric one — is actively damaging to society, and was an entirely intentional act perpetrated by people like Raghavan, the former head of Google’s ads division who took over search not long after his predecessor sounded a “code yellow” about Google’s advertising encroaching on search results.

By allowing — and encouraging — search engine optimization (SEO), Google handed matches to arsonists and pointed to the most flammable parts of the internet. The existence of SEO is inevitable, but Google should never have encouraged these people — it should have only set clear standards about what not to do and punished failures to comply heavily, except doing so would mean less content on Google (since there wouldn’t be as much of an incentive to create cheap SEO-centric content, like the millions of “what time is the superbowl” articles that appear each year).
