I think the question of whether Google has contributed to "Web crapola" with AdSense is completely separate from what the original poster was asking:

From all the famous or infamous algo changes over the years, the ups and downs, is Google really any better then it was in 2001 or 2002? Did all these updates make a damn bit of difference in how well people find what they are looking for? Is there any improvement at all? Can we look back with hindsight and say - Google is better then it was and these algo changes and DC's made a big difference?
