these so called "better google days" have been in fact the days when google did not know nothing about a user and users HAD to go to later pages.
now 98% of all search results are individualized and based on the data Google knows about a user.
That means they can find what they search usually faster (exception proving the rule).
and that leads to much less traffic on the later listings and much more on the top listings.

to understand google and itīs tactic you do not have to think like a webmaster - you have to know how the majority of billions of users act.
and only those are interesting for Google and they make their rules only based on their behavior.
