True, but to be fair this isn’t Google being ideological. They’re just responding to customer signals that customers prefer content to be shaped. If there was more CLV in one-size-fits-all search results, Google would do that.

Maybe. But probably those who prefer short term gain, not long term value. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40133976 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40133976
