It's worth noting the scam site is the top result in Bing and DuckDuckGo as well

Yep this! How can you really beat SEO when people can just try new things all day and see if it helps their rankings? I don't feel there's a solution here. Everyone suffers under SEO types just trying to bring scammy things to the top of the results page.

The thing is, I have a site in a very competitive niche that's full of black hat SEO tactics, and I am doing my white hat best hoping that Google tanks these sites when they update algos over time, and I'd then be the best placed to take their spots over.

But in the meantime, yep... It sucks.
