In this rare case, I would totally suggest you read the article. It has the perfect amount of humor mixed with shocking facts (revealed via email evidence from the Google antitrust case) and it wraps it all up in a way that’s easy to understand.

A man named Raghavan has been taken on as a major operational manager for yahoo, ibm, etc. Seems his direction of their operations line sup with a sudden collapse in quality in the areas he was at. Regardless everyone seems to discuss how he is one of the best research’s in field. The dark design and other issues google has been seeing increase for years is basically his direction and, while he isn’t the CEO, he basically runs google.

The guy who is now in charge of Google’s search division is the guy who ran Yahoo’s search division into the ground about 10-15 years ago

Google internal politics ousted the last of the OG Google guys and replaced him with the same person who killed Yahoo, Prabhakar Raghavan.
The general consensus is that all of the changes to Google since 2019 were driven by profit instead of trying to find things, like a search engine should. And those decisions were spearheaded by Prabhakar Raghavan, who used the training of a data scientist to run Google into the ground for short term financial gain. Sundae Prichai hired Prabhakar Raghavan directly and then promoted him from Head of Ads to Head of Search after firing the guy who had been helping guide Google Search since 1999.

I haven’t read the article at all (I plan to) but this basically confirms everything I have assumed as an outsider for years now.
