They can only game the system because Google made a system like that possible and has never done anything to combat the gaming of it.
Come on man I don't like google either, but SEO exploitation has been a cat and mouse game since search engines were invented. They're all varying levels of suck the last few years. It's not an easy problem to solve, and AI has made it far more difficult.
Right, but we know how people are (look at torrenting, piracy, drm, etc.), and people would figure out ways to gamify it no matter what, I believe. But you are correct that they don't seem to necessarily have any interest in stopping it. Because of course not, it's all about the bottom line.
