Eh, I think the consequences if they got caught out doing this would far outweigh the tiny benefits they get from it. Not to mention how incredibly easy it would be to get caught.
Compare to other levers they could pull, like a small change in the YouTube algorithm to favour anti-union content. Which would have a far more wide-reaching impact, and would be far harder to prove causation.

You mean like when Amazon was caught doing it and there was a couple days of memes and then nothing? I think Google could weather that breeze…
As for that other lever, I’m pretty sure they’ve pulled it many times already 🤷
