Really? You think "a sneaky way to penalize pirate sites" is a more relevant motivation than "help users find information more easily by trying to filter out sites that have so many ads they obscure content"?
- chc 15y agoYes. The latter motivation is not at all timely. I don't see any reason for Google to be more concerned about it than they have been for the last five years.

So you're under the assumption that Google implemented every quality-related change to the core ranking algorithms - every change they ever wanted - 5 years ago, and now they just sit around and react to politics. Gotcha.
