How is this comment relevant to the post (and be so upvoted?)

Google is making it harder for people to game the index, working in your favor.

Mmmh this change doesn't seem about gaming the index but rather about scraping the index. Which affects in a negative way only Google. And actually would affect users in a positive way because it lets other companies create their indexes more easily (at the expense of a poor mega-corp, indeed)

Are they? This reads more like a way to stop people reusing their results in other services rather than reducing spam results, but I may be mistaken?
