I left the article being like "oh it can't be that bad" and left my little Kagi oasis to try out some Google searches similar to the article and I've completely changed my tune. What in the hell happened? There's nary an organic result to be found, 80% of the page is shopping garbage and sponsored links, the few organic results are blogspam, and there's banner ads in the middle of results now?

The folks here in the comments are missing the forest for the trees here, sure algo tweaks reshuffle winners and losers but there's almost no results that aren't Google's own scraped content and ad spots. No amount of "make better content" can push you above the fold.
