If they had brains they’d have stopped funding the seo abuse trash fire that the net has been for the last 10 years already. If they’re still here now they’re never gonna leave.

As long as advertising metrics show positive ROAS (return on ad spend) then businesses will keep throwing money at it regardless. Even when some do drop out the ad cost will drop (due to the pricing model used) and ROAS will go back up for everyone else.
