I do this also, especially for problems/questions related to real-life situations. Someone on Reddit has either already asked that question or someone provided an answer. Google should learn from this.
Also, I think that author should have mentioned the new crop of AI writing tools that have been coming out in troves. And, honestly, some of them do a pretty convincing job of writing things like blog post intros or specific paragraphs.
And, best of all, all this "progress" is driven solely by monetary interest. Google has made millions of people rich, and for a while will continue to do so.
Lastly, I'm bit of a digital marketer myself. I have been in the game for a loooong time, too long. And, I can say from personal experience - a lot of the top 1 results on Google are still being gamed. You can, technically, report blackhat spam[0], but who knows how proactive Google is to listen to those reports.
