that "Google made their search results worse on purpose to get more ad impressions" article that's going around is based on an internal email chain from a legal filing, in which an employee mentions this potential approach for increasing engagement metrics... as an example of a bad approach and not something they'd be comfortable doing.

based on my reading, there's nothing in here that says they actually did it. I can't see anything in there that supports that claim.
