Has SEO ruined the web?

I just read the other day that Google just changed their algorithm. The article also went on to say that they also manually changed the rankings for some reason. I figure it's for the almighty $$$. Move their paid advertisers rankings to the top to keep them happy and make more money.....
I stopped using google years ago, and have been using Bing since it started up. Only time I use google is if I need to do a HTTPS search......

is bing really better? I tried it a couple of times and wasn't that impressed. Can you describe why you like it better?

Yeah, they change algorithm, precisely, they upgrade it. This stage of algorithm is now called "Google Caffeine".
I think they are trying to fix SEO problem in way that they will give more relevancy and trust to social media and websites mention on them, since you can't fix opinion of huge number of people like you could with bunch of scraper sites with the same content... Not genuine content is now penalized by Google....
Indeed, old SEO did partially ruin web with keyword stacking, content copying etc, but now when all is monitored by almighty Google, you can't evade "Google hell" if you make such stupid and useless mistakes.
Just create genuine website, with lots of useful resources and content, don't be afraid to post some links to other websites (link juice will not leak out :)) promote it by social medias and Google will love you :D

For god's sake, how does it even make sense for Google to high-rank sites in *organic search* that pay them for ads that compete with organic results? If their organic results are working well, why bother paying?
