I think this causes further problems as well. These big companies know they can easily be listed at the top of Google, and therefore they pump out low quality articles for every popular key phrase. They can write a "Top 10 X of 2023" list and bring in lots of traffic and referral sales, while a smaller site has no chance of doing the same. Then, the big site takes all that income, and pumps out more low quality articles. It's a rich get richer scenario.

If I search, "The top 10 movies on Netflix", I get sent to this page...

https://decider.com/list/top-10-movies-on-netflix-most-popul...

The top 5 movies above are...

1. The Boss Baby (2017)

2. The Angry Birds Movie (2016)

3. We're the Millers (2013)

4. Zookeeper (2011)

5. Mean Girls (2004)

Is this really the best the world has to offer for my search query? I could spend a week putting together a far better page for that query, but what's the point? It's not going to rank anywhere notable in the Google results. There's no incentive for me to produce that quality content.
