This is quite far from being the whole truth IMO. First: the problem isn't websites made by poor people. My biggest waste of time is ordinary quality but utterly irrelevant results. Second: very often the problem isn't like before where websites included valuable search terms in white text on white background but rather that Google includes results that never included the search terms at all. These are entirely Googles fault I think for over-optimizing for quantity instead of quality, not the fault of black hat SEO.
