May 2005 here.

When you work on something for 7 years of your life, every day, building adding and improving only for some anonymous person to take a decision that you have no input into, it kinda hurts.

There is no level playing field, it seems to be algo + random human intervention, that's the tough part. You can try and 'reason' with the algo, as in adjust tags, get good links, write good content, use the tools that god gave you to compete with all those others doing the self same thing, yet when someone comes along and snatches it alway and you don't understand who or why, then...yeah, not nice. How can one reason with that which cannot be reasoned with?

Can they tell us? Perhaps not, too big a can of worms maybe. Maybe someone somewhere with a good legal mind has counselled them against it.
