The article is right, but I think it's missing the main cause. People who used to make high quality web content have moved to youtube instead because you can make more money there and it's probably easier. Add to that, I think because of the move to smartphones, google tries to give you a direct answer to your question rather than directing you to sources where you could educate yourself to answer your own question which it did more in the past. But yeah google search is noticeably worse and I don't know that google can do anything to fix it.
