I thought Google's blogspam was going to be defeated roughly 2010 and invested my entire networth into a legitimate website to take out my niche.
It didn't work-- blogspam destroyed my app in traffic 5:1. My main blogspam competitor literally still gets hacked every other day but after all this time is still #1 on google. He posts on twitter in broken English that he doesn't understand why ISPs are blocking him, but it doesn't matter. The backlinks he bought back when he started launched him sky high, he even got a few legit links now from NYT, LATimes etc, despite being the ugliest blogspam you've ever seen.
I wouldn't expect Google to fix anything, these spammers already made their fortunes. Check out r/seo sometime and look at some of the accounts that post there. These people can't put together complete sentences but were dominating Google for a decade. This last March update was -finally- a step in the right direction.
I would never make the claim that English ability = intelligence, but you definitely shouldn't be dominating the search results for English-speaking audiences.
No escriblo para papel de espanol porque my idoima esta basura!
Indeed, if someone is succeeding despite the barriers of their ad-hoc, idiosyncratic, ESL then it might signal that they are really good at something. Note that the something could be appearing very successful in-spite of broken english.
