agreed 100%

Google revenue is slowly going down

Only option for Google is to pretend Internet doesn't exist

Anyone who is using Adwords or doing Search Engine Optimization

look at what results look like

It's 50% to 70% traffic being routed to Google

remaining being routed mostly to people who pay a lot to Adwords

It's almost purely Pay to Play now in most of the lucrative areas
