How to turn off that shit?

I admit I am a Google fanboy. That only makes me to miss the good old days of Google more. I know this time is hard for not only Google but also every companies. But it doesn’t mean that a company is willing to lose its philosophy to survive. The first thing of Google’s philosophy is not right anymore:

Focus on the user and all else will follow. From its inception, Google has focused on providing the best user experience possible. While many companies claim to put their customers first, few are able to resist the temptation to make small sacrifices to increase shareholder value. Google has steadfastly refused to make any change that does not offer a benefit to the users who come to the site: The interface is clear and simple. Pages load instantly. Placement in search results is never sold to anyone. Advertising on the site must offer relevant content and not be a distraction. By always placing the interests of the user first, Google has built the most loyal audience on the web. And that growth has come not through TV ad campaigns, but through word of mouth from one satisfied user to another.

Since when Google's style is glossy like this

Google’s products are being more and more complicated, many features have been added hastily and no more fine details. Maybe I am too sensitive but I feel Google is going down.
