Exactly. Woke pssies can change the definition of theft with word fuckery as easy as they think using made up pronouns can change their genders.

Google search becomes increasingly so picky day by day. Last year, though my tech site obviously decreased rank, most of my articles are indexed. Now, it is miracle that some will be indexed and to show up in search, cause typically, though they were indexed, they do not show up. Guys, maybe you have a suggestion. Though I do not hope for any positive results given Google's horrible situation. I will greatly appreaciate it. Thanks.

Bobby is upset because he probably thought Geeksforgeeks was a dating site.

More like Demoncratization because he's an evil woker just like the other big woke techies who seek to control the world.

Goes way beyond just gaslighting imo. More like Google has been sharting on us for years. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c8dfd44c80ac591b99ed82774a14cb95293627d6a478e8db350a0022f8fd8e97.gif

Don't worry about what people say. Just take a look for youself. You don't want Google nitpicking <1% of a website's content. That won't be good for us.

Lowering the barriers to entry, that made me laugh. Google stealing all the content and resurfacing it as their own. Now if thats not a barrier to entry, I don't know what is, knowing your content will be stolen.

Oh wow, didn't realise just how downhill they've gone. I thought they used to be good, ah well. As you say they got Greedy, I wouldn't be surprised if they got bought by someone else and just didn't understand the site and its popularity. Spoiler.... No need to visit most-handsome-men-in-the-world, it's me, thank me later for saving you the effort to looking..... :P

Thanks, it seems Google gas lightning again claiming AI overview is not harming small publishers.

I saw some say Geeksforgeeks have articles on celebrity gossip, live stream of the Lakers, how to buy, trending news topics, and other non related content.

Best quote from that story, which I believe many agree with, is:<blockquote>“For years, Google has had the audacity to gaslight us, saying, ‘Don’t write for search,’” said Mike Hardaker, the founder of Mountain Weekly News, which reviews outdoor gear. “Well, then, who am I writing for?”</blockquote>

How does scaled content abuse work in relation to expanding your site's content? Let's say you have a website called Ballerscom and it was primarily a basketball site. But later you extended it to football and baseball because they're also ball sports. Is this going to cause a penalty? Who is it that gets to decide what a site's identity is? And at what point does that become flexible for extensions, akin to a builder creating a home extension? These topics aren't discussed enough or clear enough. I don't believe that GeeksForGeeks is hit for scaled content abuse. Virtually everything it's ever written on is related to technology. It's most likely hit because it wrote concise tutorials. I've said this many times. You can't be concise today with something like a tutorial. SEOs and Google have ruled it as spam for not adding value. You're much more likely to get hit by a penalty for not adding enough than you are for adding too much. My understanding of GeeksForGeeks was that it liked to create a new tutorial on a new single post page for every little thing. Arguably that could cause scaled content abuse. But I think what actually happened was that it chose to write on so many small topics, many of them had already been covered and that meant it was being compared to those existing topics. And that led to a lack of originality in an SEOs eyes. But if you were to assess GeeksForGeeks as a directory, it's a very impressive directory and surely could only be classified as original, especially when you compare it to something like a porn site. The restrictions on text are absurd compared to video content. You really have to wonder what Google will do once AI video becomes more popular. We're going to start to see pornstars doing handstands presumably, just to be seen as original. Otherwise the SEOs will flag them. Notes: How does an impressive directory somehow get viewed as spam? I think it's likely related to trying to reduce the values that are given to a larger website. We always hear complaints that a large corporation is controlling the traffic etc. We also hear Google say it hears that feedback and wants to help smaller publishers. Sadly, the drawback of that is a site like GeeksForGeeks potentially losing respect for all the hard work it did to create that massive directory. That was a website I could only have dreamed of creating. But apparently it's disappeared. I did warn everyone of this in 2023. My stuff's disappearing. This is very strange. The content was very high quality. This is what I said. Those GeeksForGeeks people were far more talented than the SportsKeeda people. I wouldn't put them in the same ballpark.

Bloomberg knows search is done it's why they are charging 1.99 to unlock the article gotta make as much as you can before it's done unless you are Sportskeeda or Hindustan times or the favored Indian spammers that the search outsourced team from India favor while punishing USA sites. Anyone paid to unlock?

I guess its only USA at the moment. I'm not seeing that at the moment. Sounds like a lot of headless chickens at Google, all trying to come up ideas however pointless to justify their employment. There's little reason to go else where as other sites *are* just as clusterfked as they are.

Using words like Democratization to justify content theft almost certainly tells me he's aiming it at clueless politicians. Ask Jim Jordan or Josh Hawley what he means; they will give you a long speech about democracy, but neither will clarify what he means . I think he actually means the openness of the web not politics. The web's not going to make China democratic, which, using words like democratization, probably makes politicians think what Sam is saying. China uses the web but not going to become democratic. I'm entirely with @unclekrusty:disqus with what he says also and @disqus_ADN8rNAGtD:disqus .

We may be witnessing the greatest market manipulation in the history of the world - from tariffs to questionable press releases.

Hey, did you just saw the WTF-kery that just happened?!! The markets were all red, and the sell-off was going on. Suddenly, every stock shot up... It went up by as much as 8-10%+. Then it swing the other way and collapsed. Everyone was wondering why, even Bloomberg and CNBC were confused. They later discovered because Benzinga released a press release news saying Trump may consider a 90-day tariff pause on all countries except China. However, later, White House said they've never said that. It is fake news. If this isn't market manipulation, I don't know what is, especially when the selloff happened before White House clarified they've never made such statement.

From what I see it's not a replacement for other refinements but in addition to. I'm still seeing AIO at the top and the other People Also Ask, Things to Know, What People are Saying and People Also Search For refinement boxes included on the same page. Google must be losing a lot of users to run them in circles like this to boost the total number of search queries and ad clicks.

There's no win for society when only a handful of for-profit companies, some with extreme marketshare like Google, control the distribution of information. What may seem like a benefit now will quickly become harmful as these companies degrade quality in the name of profits. We need look no further than Google which has followed this path to profits.

I don't feel betrayed. I feel disgusted. I didn't expect a hand out from Google. Just a. don't use my content to train your AI b. don't show fake AI stuff in the SERPS 3. don't elevate Pinterest/Reddit over my site. Those were never supposed to rank.

The markets will go back up. I would hold at this point. It will probably reach 50k at some point after all of this is over. Not because of any specific policy but because this AI bubble and all the other thing that will be happening in the upcoming years.
