Sounds like scare tactics.
But SEO isn't that important for my line of work.

This is what I have been saying for months now.
If Google does what you are saying, people will (eventually) give it about as much respect as they give infomercials.
They will move to other search engines who offer more quality results.

As all said adapt/tune/twist/test/follow test result and will get on top of that.
We must not forget that no matter how elaborate is the algo is still a algo and can be beat any time but another algo... Is not GOD, Is not human to have the power make the difference between good or bad is just math....

Sorry, but it's the engineers at Google that should fear their own actions. Blank pages ranking, domains with 7, 8 and even 9 listings on the first page of the SERPS, etc. is a testament of their failure.
Google will eventually become a paid search engine with 96% of the organic traffic opportunities lost. Instead of dumping shitloads of money in Adwords, use the money elsewhere on Bing, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Google Search needs us as much as we need them. If/when webmasters actually bond together to say no to Google, then maybe the revenue loss they witness, like we have recently, will remind them of the fact that it is our money making them filthy rich.

Removing sites from Google's index is not what I'm talking about as that does not hit them in the wallet. What I'm talking about is a direct pullback on Adwords spending or removing Adsense from sites. Outside of another search engine rapidly taking their marketshare, that's one of the few ways to hit them in the wallet. A class action lawsuit regarding the link removal requests would be another way, but I've yet to see any of my URLs named in a response from Google. Otherwise I'd kick in a few grand to help push the lawsuit out to sea.

Getting scared about every seminar this ape talks at is as productive as getting intimidated with every fortune tellers 'warning' of the end of the world: it's the end of 'same ol, same ol'; the world will keep going and so will blackhat techniques. They will just have to evolve and adapt.
Stop worrying kids, it will all be ok. And if it's not and it's all over? We've learned enough techniques and skillsets to dominate in lame jobs and workspaces anyway, they have much more to fear compared to us.
So just sit back, relaaaaaaaax; and enjoy the ride, cuz that's all it is my friends.

LOL at people trying to put any fault on Matt or Google as a whole for that matter.
It's called evolution people. Things change, people change, heck so does the weather everyday. When it's gets colder outside you put a jacket on and ADJUST yourself as so many other people have mentioned already.
Also, as long as you are providing quality content (none of this BS MNS for quick money quantity over quality money) doing the proper marketing, going above and beyond what others are doing you will be just fine not only in Google but in every facet of your life. Pushing yourself to the brink is what separates the loser from the winners.

I disagree with all of this. All these "updates" have nothing to do with the actions of noobs, copy/paste sites, or who is using Senuke wrong. Matt Cutts' response represents the elitist and cocky attitude that google has. This has to do with greed. Major corporations are always looking for ways to beat out everyone else and make more money. Anyone who thinks that google is in this because they care about their users/customers is being duped. They have these "updates" because 1) spammers and bhatters have a knack for knocking out google's precious Amazon and other corporations from dominating the serps for every keyword phrase known to mankind, and 2) it forces everyone else to buy google ads.

You're an idiot.
This is basically correct... this attitude is prevalent in every facet of what google does. They really, really like to break laws and play outside of the bounds of generally allowable behavior. They do this, until some government body cracks them upside the head, and then they pay a fine and move on (this has happened 4-5 times... so far). Google considers this "part" of making money, as the fines are almost always low (in the 10s of millions)
At any rate, the new Bing is undoubtedly the better engine as far as relevancy and quality of results. Unfortunately, Google is allowed to pay browser developers billions/yr to capture 80%+ of users as the "default" engine. A Grade-A monopolization lesson.
What can disrupt this is Apple creating their own search engine, which I (and most SEOers) would undoubtedly love to see. However, despite their nearly 100 billion in cash on hand, they still have not done it.
