E679: There's a growing theory that Google is intentionally degrading its search results to drive more ad clicks and revenue. Is this actually true?

I break down a recent rant from a two-decade Google engineer who directly pushes back on this claim. We'll look at what the data actually says, why the court case may have misunderstood it, and what this means for SEO moving forward.

If my conclusions are true, there's actually far more opportunity in SEO than I previously thought.
