Prabhakar Raghavan, a former Yahoo executive and current Google manager, has been criticized for his role in destroying two major companies: Yahoo and Google. At Yahoo, he was known as the "search master" but ultimately failed to make any significant changes to the company. He then moved on to Google, where he has allegedly made search results less reliable, more transparent, and dominated by search engine optimized content and advertising. Critics argue that Raghavan's managerial approach prioritizes growth over actual innovation, leading to a decline in Google's quality and usefulness. The author of the text argues that Raghavan's career is marked by "failing up" through the ranks of technology, causing damage wherever he goes.
