@Sgt Kickaxe So Google just shows bare links with no snippet for sites that dont want snippets of course this will reduce ctr and drive traffic to other publishers.

See, you're stuck on how Google HAS BEEN doing things. I propose they pay me a small amount for the RIGHT to borrow my content(for snippets or anything else), otherwise you're right and their site will look silly. Again, Google owns none of my content so why should the BILLIONS of dollars they make per quarter from showing "not their content" not trickle down a little further?
