Yes, Google is mostly spam now. Digg went out of business, Enron went out of business, Google could just as easily. They are forcing a lot of activity now by just allowing people to abuse their site by allowing fake traffic that's just bots. The SEO for every search is noticeable worse each year, it's always pointless to check every anything past the 3rd result, I can't even find stuff I remember being able to find in the past.
