The complaints regarding google's quality isn't because google is being bad or doing something anti-consumer it's just that spam and ranking has become harder and harder over time. A new competitor wouldn't be free from those issues.
- ocdtrekkie 5y agoI vehemently disagree with this. Gmail is an excellent example of worst-in-the-business spam filtering today. Literally everyone else is better at it now. Google is getting worse at things that were originally their core competency.
- zo1 5y agoSpam is only hard if you're accepting low-quality content and not pruning it heavily. But Google can handle the scale of the spam, they just don't want to reduce it because the spam increases their ad real-estate. That's one theory, the other I would argue is that once you peel away the genuine spam and the blogspam, there really isn't much content left on the web (besides a small handful of big sites like Reddit) and Google knows this.
