How SEO Ruined the Internet

Seems to me like you have it backwards.

The reason you even got a chance to click on it is because they wrote it that way. If they didn't, it wouldn't be as visible in Google = nobody would see it. When most websites do this (to survive) folks don't have a choice.

Also, advertisers don't pay for something that's invisible.

To base your income and your future on something as volatile as Google search seem to me a terrible idea.

What if algorithm changes will tank your all your fleet of poor content websites you've spent last few years on?

Then you shut down the servers and move on. You got the ad dollars at that point, what do you care?
