This is silly. The web is not in decline and Google is not at fault. Most of the web is garbage, and Google helps us find the information buried in a sea of ads and repetitively copied/reworded content. We are moving to a world where putting up a plagiarized page with tons of ads will not be profitable. The sooner that day arrives, the better.
Everything always seems to circle back to the idea that keeping people in ignorance is better because they’re too uneducated or stupid to understand. I just don’t buy it.
