This sort of thing is why Google's monopoly on the internet is so dangerous.

Because they are making so that we get less results that are just cheating the system to show up at the top?

SEO is a bastardization of a useful tool, solely meant to game the system artificially

to be fair, they specifically target the way google ranks these websites. If google would rank them with less impact of what the website "bastardizes", this could be generally less of an issue in the first place.
