    Good. I hope it goes to trial, and they show that the monopoly Google is unfairly fucking with search results, as we all know they do, and some sort of regulation eventually comes from it.

      Googles search rankings are fairly well understood and documented, though they are really punishing for smal sites. Thats why all the SEO crap works (for a short while at least, you get punished eventually for abusing the system).

      I despise the way they are ranking search results, but there is no secret fuckery at work

      Please elaborate on how Google is changing the search rankings. I’ve worked with Google SEO for decades and I’ve never seen or heard of this. I’ve only seen people try to outsmart the system, and then years later are blacklisted for doing shady stuff. Nothing in the article even mentioned Google.

      But I’ve never heard of Google manually changing rankings. So you’re saying there’s a conspiracy to rank a Christian metal band from 20 years ago lower than a newly released movie/series with a similar name. Which just happens to be the most watched movie on Netflix.

      The system seems to be working exactly as intended. Fresh original relevant content to the top rankings.

      Why would someone expect the opposite? Why do you think Google is involved at all?
