Google Search is in a horrendous state right now. Search results have been getting worse each year, with interesting information being buried 20 pages down. I really hope they have plans to improve this or find an approach that works as a middle ground for generic SEO content.
I wonder how much of the search abuse / manipulation they are dealing with given the current situations and upcoming elections?

Google has largely made the internet a safer and more efficient system by pushing standards through their market dominance. Is this a bad thing?
What did Google ever do for us?

I would agree search seems to have gotten worse. I wonder how much of the search abuse / manipulation they are dealing with given the current situations and upcoming elections?
It's funny that Google is so large, that one way to grow their business is to improve the user experience of the internet as a whole.
If this were true chrome would ship with ad block and they would accept cold hard cash for their services.
Largely people prefer the free perception of the internet and wouldn't pay the prices it would cost if direct payments were made.
I believe its in the $x00s per year

You’re only considering the (debatable) positives (chrome sucks ass, folks). If you can’t engage in a good faith discussion why bother posting?
Google took on and basically CRUSHED some major market players and powers (Microsoft basically lost the entire web and handset markets from a monopoly position) as a result of google service offerings.
Check out how much money they pumped into firefox as well - that used to be a major part of their push vis a vis IE.
Regardless of how much google "sucks" - they seem to have at least some things that folks like.
