last month i switched from bing to google because bing wasn't giving me relevant local results...
today, i switched back to bing because google is fucking awful now. so many ai website and spam! not finding website that actually answer my questions! obvious attempt at demoting legitimate websites so users will just see their AI overviews or AI mode instead.
Maybe the Google Crime Syndicate is trying to help Redshit out because of Australia's ban on social media for kids under 16? Like all big techies, Redshit needs to prey upon the young to achieve profits and to warp their sense of reality so they can grow up to become slaves to the Poop Technocracy.
<b>Reddit sues Australia over under-16 social media ban</b> - <a href="https://mashable.com/article/reddit-lawsuit-australia-social-media-ban">https://mashable.com/article/reddit-lawsuit-australia-social-media-ban</a>
<blockquote>Reddit is suing the Australian government over its newly enacted social media ban, which prevents children aged 16 and younger from accessing most social media platforms.
Reddit argued that the ban impinges on the right to free political discourse implied by the country's constitution, according to a Reuters report. In essence, blocking the youths from Reddit would block their freedom of speech, the company said. Reddit also argued that it was not, primarily speaking, a social media site, but rather a place for exchanging information and ideas. </blockquote>
This breakdown of the Google December 2025 Core Update and its early intense impact is incredibly timely and valuable for SEOs and site owners. The way you explain the fast volatility, timeline, and reminder that this is a broad quality recalibration (not a “penalty”) really helps calm anxiety while still urging people to take content quality and relevance seriously. Thanks for turning early update chaos into clear insights and practical guidance on what to watch and how to respond over the coming weeks.

Google is kicking even a dead dog in the street with this latest update. This graph is from my last surviving website.
Well folks, websites have become a thing of the past...

If you genuinely think it's going to be that easy, then why not? You don't owe Google any fairness, you've not been given any from them over however many years you've been doing this.
I think the reality for nearly every failing seo saying "I'll just become a spammer!" is bordering on delusional though. If you can't beat seo's at the normal game what makes you think you can come in and simply eat professional spammers lunch instead though...
I bet 99%+ of seos who try to become spammers, fail at that too.
Because you're better than that. AI is not going to rule forever, I see lot's of webmasters doing the dark side now which is messing up the internet. All for Google's AI strategy - is it worth it Google?
17 year old site, gone from 100k adsense ads a day to 15k mainly due to AI overviews. I am seeing influx of AI spam websites - why can't they just stop new sites from coming in the serps unless 100% human written, surely they can do a detector.
Hurray ... I thought it couldn't get any worse.
I was wrong.
The new update has brought me another loss of traffic.
I'm now down to 5% of my former traffic.
I no longer think it's out of the question that my site will disappear altogether.
The last one will turn off the lights.
Long live Google and long live AI.
Most of my clients are either stable or growing this update. But one client I just migrated to a new domain a few weeks ago, now it is not visible on any page in Google for 40 out of 50 of its main keywords. The remaining 10 will probably tank the coming days.
Seeing pretty much 15 page EMD brand new sites basic ai text with a image.. this is now dominating along with repurposed domains. if the update finishes like this I think I will join the darkside and also start producing slop as that seems the best if not only way to make money online now. it looks quick easy and cheap. it makes sense. give google what it wants. Why break your backs creating quality content, good layouts.. EEAT, real tessting etc,.. when you can just flood the web with AI slop for 9.99 per domain?
The domain in this X post takes lazy AI slop to the next level. Google should be rewarding them soon:

Traffic is actually up a little, while my tracked keyword positions are down, some completely lost. Really looking forward to checking metrics every twenty minutes over the holiday. tHanXX gOoGLe!
For the past two years Google is spending very little effort on maintaining their index, calculating rankings and delivering organic SERPs. They are focused on AI Overview, sponsored products, ads, and stuff that searchers can click to get a fresh batch of ads. The organic results are more of an expense than a money-making product. So they are putting minimal work into them. Just shuffle, deal, repeat.
Bing is just as bad, its dam unoriginal. Has no one got a brain cell at Bing to think rather than copy. If they want to pull people away from Google, they need to be original.
That said, based on referrer string, both DDG and BING are sending more than double the number of visitors that Google are. Imagine if one of those had Google's monopoly, I'm be receiving 10x what I am now.
