As for the idiot image, that is an easy hack. During the 2016 election r/the_donald and the chans would have it weekly. Search pedophile and you get a picture of Podesta. Search rapist and you get a picture of Bill Clinton. Search crooked and you get a picture of Hillary.



If true, then I’m very surprised that their algorithm is that easy to trick. Years ago, they would automatically decrease the relevance of websites that did stuff like this.

It's not that it's easy to "trick", it's just a matter of gaming low-volume searches. If anything, it's an indication that there are no biases in the algorithm for these search terms.
