I'm not defending Google itself, just noting that the declining quality of its search is based less on a malicious decision on Google's part and more a result of SEO.

I mean, the 5+ ads that Google serves at the top before real results are not the result of SEO. It's a problem sure, but don't take the credit away from Google. They worked hard to make sure you see those ads.
