A lot of search results in my native language return totally garbage results where clearly they just scraped for keywords and then threw them on a site. Another tactic is to Google Translate articles from other languages, which obviously ends with a totally unreadable post, but it still ranks well because it hits some keywords.
It's actually weird that these rank so high. The very least Google used to do well was to filter this garbage. I can understand them losing the SEO battle, but that they fail to filter straight-up spam is quite interesting.
