No, it really doesn't. It illustrates a changing business reality and your fond wish that things change in a way you happen to find convenient.

You want google to provide not the thing that google and users think is most useful, but the things that YOU think is most useful. And incidentally (totally by accident, I'm sure) most profitable for you.

Who do you think has more data and is in a better position to make that call - google or you?
