The problem with what you wrote is that EVERYONE plays the system.
Tubes buy massive amounts of hardlinks for SEO purposes which is against Google's webmaster guidelines. Yet they rank first.
In mainstream it is the same. Look at the Insurance industry and you'll see the same behavior.
Google likes that phrase, "game the system" because it makes it sound like people are 'cheating' somehow as if they were breaking the rules in a casino or getting welfare when they don't really qualify. If you think about it, what should the default be? Who should naturally be first?
