These questions pop up very often on HN and other circles - yet the answer is always the same. The algorithm(s) serve you content that makes money. If you manage to look past that, you'll still find plenty of honest, straight to the point material. Thing is - it's getting progressively harder year by year. For example, YouTube recently crippled their search function severely - it displays batches of results completely irrelevant to your specific search term in-between actual results. Absolutely fucking retarded. And that's just one example.
