Which in turn reafirms, recursevely, the author's assertion of gamed Google algorithms.

I think web search is still flawed, like it was 15 years ago when Google came along. The problem is that now the flaws are more subtle, hence more dangerous since search (and feed) ordering, interactions and suggestions are capable of influencing people in an almost subconscious level. It will take years to understand its implications.
