If Google was evil *and* smart (instead of just evil), they would show tech people, who probably have never once clicked on an ad result ever anyways, the same quality of results that we used to get back in the day. That way we'd still be recommending Google and thinking to ourselves "what is everyone complaining about?” instead of actively trying to figure out what's going on.
