Google Search Results Got Worse

So you’re not crazy...Google did get shittier. wait WTF The recent court documents showed that Google’s internal testing demonstrated that significantly worse search results would not harm their business operations. This apparent immunity to quality concerns stems from the company’s dominant market position, which the recent federal court ruling addressed. “Since Google doesn’t have any real competition, it can make the best information hard to find, forcing users to stay on Google for longer and interact with more ads,” Papadimitriou said. “This is dangerous for consumers, most of whom think the best results appear first.” The strategy appears to be working from a business perspective. The study suggests that poor organic search results actually benefit Google’s bottom line in two ways: they make paid advertisements more valuable to users seeking accurate information, and they force users to refine their searches multiple times, exposing them to more advertising in the process.
