It's only important in so far as Google can make a profit on it.

Yes, they could favor specific servers, and that used to be the case. That takes specific effort to pick those sites out, though. They don't want to do that anymore.

It did not used to be that way. However, we collectively deluded ourselves into thinking that we were "safe", forever, b/c Google "wasn't evil".

In a sense, they wouldn't even have to anymore, if they allowed the old ones to remain at the top. But I see what you mean - e.g. Reddit could change, and Lemmy would never get added.
