Google likes garbage sites now?

Seems like after recent google update a lot of low quality and spammy sites are ranking in top 10 for high competitive niches. Anyone else noticed that?
What happened to Quality???? What happened to "Content is king"???? What happened to quality link profile???? WTF GOOGLE!!!!

I noticed too. My sites are now in third page when usually appear at first. A lot of low quality sites are at fisrt page, now :S I hope the new update as soon as possible.

A bit higher rank than usual.

1. What are these spammy sites you speak of? Give us some examples?

2. Dhrruv - I have a site that is only three months old, but will do better in search results than others with a higher PR maybe because i have created my own content, and it's not all about page rank.

3. To the three posters above me - Are your sites more spammier than the others that are getting a more successful search result? Have you engaged in any black hat activities?

1. No examples + 1 post total = I will believe it when I see it
2. Define high competition.
3. You mean the Google algorithm makes mistakes?!?!?! OMG I though they were perfect!!11! Now my life is ruined.
4. As a user I have seen some bad results in my searches, maybe more lately, maybe not. There could be some unintentional consequences of the recent updates.
5. I SERIOUSLY doubt I would think your site was within light-years of being useful in any way. I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Yes it happens to my site also my site was ranking on 3rd page in January but after that update in January my site is not ranking even in 1000. I CANNOT understand this.
