I'm not sure why you are downvoted - seems like a reasonable insight and explanation for the drop in quality and weird decisions Google is making recently.
It’s not insightful at all. Just one intern’s very brief observations of something way more complicated and nuanced than is deserving of such a dismissive comment.
I'll take brief comments that shed partial light on something over no comments at all and no insight at all.
I have mentioned this multiple time: Any criticism of Google is met with barrage of downvotes. I guess all the googlers hang around here and they are usually commenting with throwaways.
Google seems to be sort of like a sect of narcissists.
