  Right. Instead of stopping search spam, Google has figured out how to monetize it. Search for "credit card". Instead of spammy sites being at the top of the search results, you get Google's own spammy ads. Ten years ago, there was a Web Spam Squashing Summit.[1] Google was a sponsor. The next year, Google was a sponsor of Search Engine Strategies, the web spammer convention. That was the moment Google turned to the dark side.

      Does it matter how objectively good it is when Google gets to just put it on top of the search results? Personal opinion's aside, I'm convinced that Europe will answer, "No." Google will be the next Microsoft of our time, trying to split the company in order to get their own products listed in their own Search. Perhaps we've already seen the groundwork being laid for just such a split with Alphabet?
