    They could have verified that shit!

    There’s no “They”. There’s nobody home. Nobody’s looking at this shit, it’s all just algorithms and machine learning, there’s nobody customer-facing at Google who’s job it is to vet this crap. That scammy website passed some set of automated metrics Google uses to determine scamminess, so it’s off to the front page of search results it goes.

      Just because Google doesn’t do it doesn’t mean they can’t. I don’t believe you that they couldn’t implement some automated means of vetting it; it’s just more profitable not to.
