It looks like the ex-DDG employee got the details wrong, and read the slides backwards.

    I’m not sure what your comment has to do with mine because I wasn’t discussing anything in the article, simply replying to someone else’s comment.

    To be clear I understand that the article was incorrect, and I had my suspicions when I first saw it too (which I posted in another comment).

    My comment is in reference to Google Search’s general degradation of user experience and quality of search results over the many years. Sponsored results that are hard for the average people to notice are sponsored, and they take up half the screen. SEO spam, quora spam, specific searches returning general results, etc. There is still a wealth of organic and original content out there. I just never find it through search.
