Google's double standards

I hate googles double standards, if the rules would be the same for all than a site like thetelegraph.com would never rank. All articles have a content locker on them.

Sadly, that’s the way the game works. We choose to either play or not play.
If it’s any consolation, sites like the one you mentioned are still on the decline and independently-made content remains on the rise. The little guys are the future, no matter how much Google may want to push in the other direction.
