Yes. They both did.

Google came to prominence because it sidestepped the first gen SEO of keywords.

Then it became a bloated corp run by MBAs.

SEO took off and it did little to nothing as its search platform was now there to deliver eye balls to advertisers.

I noticed something was wrong when every article repeated what I was asking as many times as possible.

They’re all pretty much written in the same style now, and it’s next to impossible to find the actual information you’re looking for under all the bullshit.

I don’t blame SEO ‘experts’ or Google. I blame greed.

Yes.
