IMHO this is because of SEO. Whatever algorithms search companies make, those who exploit them (called SEO, whatever the hat color is) will have an advantage over those who don't.

- rchaud 7y agoSEO is only half the issue. Even a great SEO won't be able to get your site to rank if it only has 10 pages and new content is rarely added (think of a small company's marketing website). Search engines think volume of content and frequency of updates are positive signals, so in the past decade we have seen a deluge of "content marketing", with corporate blogs and media sites chock-full of absolute garbage clickbait and listicles, written by freelance copywriters for pennies per word. All to obtain a higher domain ranking, or domain authority. While users are looking for the needle in the haystack, websites are just making the haystack bigger to capture users who were looking in a different haystack.
