a quick summary is that there might be evidence that Google favored increasing revenue from ads instead of user experience and functionality. The author gathers form of emails (not linked in the article) and the background of Google leadership.

There, that’s most of it. The rest is a difficult read of a rant that’s not always coherent.

That just makes sense. Companies want to make their customers happy, and users aren't Google's customers
