Surprised Not

Gary Illyes from Google posted on Twitter a sarcastic GIF of what he said "Everyone's reaction when low quality and spammy content is not indexed anymore." I posted that GIF above, so you can see it, but here is the tweet:

He is saying you shouldn't be surprised when your spammy and/or low quality content is not indexed by Google.

But why the GIF? What is he up to?

He also recently said he stepped away a bit from Twitter and the SEO side of it for his mental health:

Basically suggesting he is working in other areas...

He then added that he has not been following Google search launch reports recently.

This has me scratching my head a bit...
