The thing that Ben Gomes was being asked to do was increase queries on Google, the literal amount that people search. There are many ways of looking at that and thinking, oh shit, that's not what you want. Surely you don't want no queries. You don't want people not using it at all.

But queries going upwards linearly suggests that if you're not magic into user growth, at least the people are not getting what they want on the first try, which by the way, kind of feels like how Google is nowadays. When you go to Google and the first result and the second result and the fifth result and the 10th result, just don't get what you need because it's all SEO crap.

Now, this is all theorizing, but what I think Prabhagar Raghavan did was I think he took off all the fucking guidelines on Google search. I think he rolled back changes specifically to make search worse, to increase queries, to give Google more chance to show you adverts.

I am guessing, don't have a source telling me this, but the pattern around the core search updates, the fact that Google search started getting worse toward the middle and end of 2019, and unquestionably, dipped in 2020, well, that's when Prabhakar took over. That's when the big man took the reins. That's when Dracula got his job at the blood bank. And this is the thing.

There's very little that you and I can actually do about this. But what we can do is say names like Prabhagar Raghavan a great deal of times so that people like this can be known. So that the actions of these scurrilous assholes can be seen and heard and pointed at and spat upon. I'm not suggesting spitting on anyone. No violent acts. No. You can be pissy on the internet like the rest of us.

Now, I'm ranting. I realize I'm ranting. But this subject really, really got to me. But it's not the only one. In the next episode, I'm going to conclude this sordid three-part fiasco.

With a few more examples, and how many of these managers, these bean counters, devoid of imagination or ability or anything of note, save for that utter slug-like ability to protect oneself, I want to talk about how these people managed to obfuscate their true intentions by pretending to be engineers, by pretending to be technologists, and pretending to be innovators.
