They did that even before AI. Sponsored links and worse results, so people go to the dreaded page 2 more often, showing even more sponsored links and ads. And they say capitalism makes things run efficiently...

It wasn’t solely their fault, people gaming the ranking algorithms also did disastrous damage.

Because they wanted more clicks so they'd make more money from the ads served by... Google.

It was entirely their fault.

True, though it’s not like Google is/was the only company serving ads.
