Just judge them by their own supposed goals, organising information. They fail. And they fail not for inability, but for greed. You can quibble about what types of non-good behaviour constitutes evil, but first accept that "evil" was cute language. They are a distorting middleman and their scale means the cultural damage is incalculable. They create a near monopoly search that offers no user control over it's behaviour and it functions to vanish small independent creators under commercial interests and adverts. Just look at one property - youtube - the inability to find title matched videos by search, the shovelling of shorts, the pruning of valuable user features etc. None of these have been about increasing user experience, user power or the access of information, it's about increasing Google's Smaug like horde of gold.
