These points are critical.

The fact that you have to surrender full control of your own site and content to be featured by Google is criminal.

They don't own the web.

They could improve their indexing to handle more of the web, but instead they're trying to shift the cost of indexing to people who publish on the web. The small guy. Not the near trillion dollar company.

You find it weird that you have to kiss Google's ass in order to get special treatment from them?

Not weird, just shitty

The most prominent results should be he most relevant results, not the ones who kiss the most ass

I know the formula is mostly about relevance, but ass kissing shouldn't even be in there
