perhaps this would not be a problem if google did not directly monetize AI Slop... for that matter why even include AI crap in search.

  The Google conspiracy has been getting shared for long before AI slop came in to the picture. The fact is that SEO people got too good at their jobs and filled the search results with junk.

    Google can properly classify email spam. They should be able to fight this as well. Problem is they are the ones funding the poor quality spam and they're in turn profiting by taking money from advertisers.

      Spamming can be found by metadata and reports. There is no "this site is absolute crap" button for them to find useful feedback in searches.

        They've had 20+ years to add one.

          Add? They have one. Click on the three dots next to the URL then "Feedback" -> "Something else" -> "Spammy content". Something like this has existed as long as I can remember. The three dots used to be a down arrow in the same place.

            Even better then.

    Google used to penalize websites for SEO hacks. Then they started attending SEO conferences themselves. SEO specialists didn't outsmart Google, Google stopped trying. As the sibling implies this is most likely because they noticed that the easiest way for SEO spam to monetize is ... Google ads.
