Search doesn’t suck because people aren’t working to make it better.

Search was working great for years. Search sucks because they are fucking it with SEO and ads, and they like it that way because they make more money.

So whoever they are firing for whatever reason has nothing to do with their shitty search.

If they wanted to make search better they'd cut the ad department not the search improvement department. That's not where the money-extracting is though.
