- dredmorbius 12y agoWhile he's not perfect, and mild tweaks of Google's algorithms can be crushing for sites (Metafilter would be a particularly sympathetic case), as a seeker of relevant, quality content, and even as one who's largely abandoned Google search for DDG (largely backed by Microsoft Bing), I do appreciate efforts to make results relevant, to suppress the current fad for weaponized clickbait and viral media, which I see as unambiguously bad. So hats-off and I wish Cutts a very relaxing and refreshing sabbatical.
