I am not claiming that Google is or isn’t doing this. I made my comment because from the title and the text in the image I built an initial impression which was refuted when I looked further into it.
Critical examination of this post is not about answering “Is Google making search results worse on purpose?”, but actually a much less ambitious question: does the sourced article provide strong enough evidence to support the assertion “Turns out that making Google search unusable was an intentional strategy by the company”? I don’t think so, so I made a comment.
I appreciate the added context, thanks.
