It’s been talked about here before, but fundamentally it’s when the advertising guys won the power struggle over the search engine guys. Previously, advertising was a means to fund cool technology (and also get filthy rich).

Now it’s just a way to make the number perpetually go up, sucking every last drop of value out of the system.

Plus the complete lack of vision or strategy from Google’s senior leadership.
