Randy Morin says Google has not been acting on his diligent spam reporting, with SpamSense accounts and Splogger sites still active. I'm not surprised. I've long suspected that two years ago, Google replaced all their employees with algorithms. How else do you explain the lack of mutiny over the months-long search for a new chef? Clearly the robots don't care, since they don't need food.

But, in all seriousness, its one thing for Google to not be developing systems to track and remove spam, but the least that can be done is to listen to users that have done the work for them. Spam sites are easy to recognize at a glance, so once Google has the URL, it is just lazy to not take action.
