All this hostility to users in last few years is because of $$$.

Google should just have a developer/engineer/expert mode that shows results using 2012 algorithms. I don’t mind paying $5/month in exchange.

Hey Google, you could get an extra $60/year from me if you offered the 2007 search engine as an option.

Not kidding.
