Is this entirety Google's fault, or is it due to the different people who send me ten emails a week saying "Good day to you dear sir. I have been checking your website and I see that you have a good ranking but I am an SEO specialist and I can make your website rank higher "
Bitch please I'm a lazy cunt, I don't want the work ๐
SEO grifters have definitely gamed the system so much so that even if you have a junkyard dog mentality about SEO, you're competing with every Tom, Dick, and Harriet that ever picked up Wordpress For Dummies. For your average user just trying to search for a local business or news article, you're hit with ads and competitors trying to outbid each other on adwords. What a mess.
