"Google said it demoted verticals because they were spammy (“low quality,” “shallow”, “duplicate, overlapping, or redundant” content) – and it’s undoubtedly true that such sites attempted to game Google and get in the rankings. Yet so, too, did sites providing a better consumer offering. Google just didn’t want you to see them."
Try and get a clue, this isn't the freaking point. I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. If I go to a search engine and do a search the last thing I want, 99.99999999% of the time, is to get directed to another search engine.
I don't care how utterly brilliant a consumer offering they have they are by definition "redundant" because I didn't go to them to do my search.
Basically this article amounts to Google bad because Wil Wheaton and the Gadget Show told me so.
