It’s not about Google owing anyone traffic, people are upset that Google can’t tell the difference between inauthentic product recommendations and authentic ones. Google clearly wishes they could as well, but it doesn’t scale so they don’t solve the problem.

Maybe we should refuse to accept Google’s framing. It’s content creators’ job to create great content as judged by people. It’s Google’s job to discover that content and rank it above procedurally generated garbage that is devouring the internet. The fact that Google’s results are dominated by trash isn’t because there’s a lack of good content.
