In a way Google probably fears addressing these issues because once they take ownership of them, they are going to be forever saddled and blamed when bad ads get through their review system or when shitty videos get promoted on youtube or when people get some "racist" result when they ask OK Google about $stereotype. Google's main source of cash is replacing humans with automation. For them re-introducing humans (i.e. risk) into the equation means seeing dollar bills grow wings and fly off. Most internet companies do not want their services to have a human labor component. It used to be a joke that you could never call anyone at Google to get any of their shit fixed. They just farmed it out to the "community". But whose laughing now? They used to "organize the worlds information", but 'information' soon changed to 'content', and 'content' to 'content farm'. I doubt any significant percentage of their users are ever going to switch away from Google. There is almost no way to detect if you should have gotten a better search result or a better ranking. The results are OK as long as you get a link that is vaguely useful. Its been years since you could even look at the actual results. They claim a query has a millions of results, but you can't even go past page 20. #Fail ? Us nerds made them popular by recommending them to our friends and family and/or surreptitiously installing Chrome to escape the tech-support-calls-from-hell for IE toolbars and shit. We're partly responsible too..
