    The reality is that most commercial and thus bloated web sites/apps are fully controlled by Google. Ranking is the king. This sites will quickly adapt to any Google’s ranking factor change very quickly in fear of losing their “SEO juice” and becoming outranked by the competition.

      Sites adapting to ranking factor wouldn’t be such a huge problem if the people weren’t so stupid and clicked the top link on SERP without thinking. People can also contribute by starting to use other better search engines like DDG.

        On a scale of internet search “clicking the top link” is basically a law of physics. Google monopoly in this market is so strong that other engines are irrelevant for sites - I know it first hand, even if I personally avoid Google’s products for this reason.
