Misery is spreading. Anyway, welcome to SER, and I hope a new domain helps you get back on track.

I see many Twitter SEOs still not understand that AI is fine to use. Apart from Google saying it's fine, it fundamentally doesn't make sense to have a problem with it. ChatGPT is the threat to Google traffic, which is pure AI. We've established AI can do good things. But it's not relevant to all niches. This blog wouldn't be able to make use of AI for example. So some people get angry at the idea of using AI, but that's only because they're getting mad at the idea of bad content. So, there's all this fuss surrounding AI sentences. But I think the only real problem is AI video. An AI sentence is fine to read. But you have to be one hell of a nerd to get a kick out of AI video. AI porn and AI newsreaders etc are very small market ideas. That's never going to be popular. Yet, I'm starting to see a lot of AI video. I get AI videos on my Instagram. I get AI picture after picture on my Facebook. I forget where I was heading with this. I'll have to come back to it. So yeah, there's this crossover where people are using AI to write on things they shouldn't. That's a problem. You don't want to get stuck in a niche like that. It's like swimming in a rip. It'll be a nightmare. Google will never sort it out. But the real issue as I see it, is AI video. I don't want to see any AI video. Why am I seeing so much AI video? Get this AI video nonsense out of my face. Also, you can't block people on YouTube now. It's a new rule. So when these people put AI in my face, I'm stuck with it. When I'm abused, I am stuck with it. You can't even report abuse. You take a look at the options to try to report someone verbally bullying you. They don't exist. It's like Jack's Twitter. These are evil far-right libertarian people who control these networks. The goal is self-gain at all costs.

Holiday's typically have not started yet. They start after today.

Typical, and they never explain it because the claim they don't want the bad actors to know how to game the system.

You added 14 pages per day every day for the whole year. That is some serious determination and creative capacity......

That wouldn't be a big change. That would be a Google is leaving the internet change, There is plenty of demand for a search engine. If Google doesn't want the traffic, someone else will. I'm not afraid of this. Big is only one step up from average. Big > very big > huge. Similar to good > very good > great. Removing a search engine would constitute a huge or above huge change. "Big" is just CEO marketing BS.

I am not sure if this is a Christmas week drop but one hell of a drop. SERPS are still the same. Is it possible that companies had simply closed for business till after the new year and people have all gone on holiday?

Anyone seeing heavily impacted HCU sites have huge influx of pages being crawled? Got two niche sites doing this? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3693d4110f51f9c92bb738d1b397f1f86b2b194755eb283e77554d0d24827053.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/21e86580c187697558b979b3e0412d34db5d60568612f1341cac1bf16409d6f2.png

It's their deliberately misleading term used for destroying quality sites Google sees as in the way of their profits, under the ruse of "spam." Just like their "Helpful Content Update" was named after a lie just to cover the fact they wanted to clear the first 2 pages of serps of all small publishers. Google is again just taking a page from their Big Gov't boyfriends with the power of branding as a means of deception for the sheeple: <a href="https://x.com/Rothmus/status/1869894913208234236">https://x.com/Rothmus/status/1869894913208234236</a>

Safe to assume small time bloggers complaining on SEO forums aren’t real news businesses… Rather they are trying the same ol’ low volume keyword with massive article volume strategy or using AI. They deserve every drop that is to come.

Easy enough for Google to deindex/derank quality pages, even if only temporarily, to force users to search more and make the ads look more appealing. Q4 ends in eight days, and Google may be having a hard time surpassing financial analysts expectations.

Has likely already started with the dedicated AI tab Barry posted about <a href="https://www.seroundtable.com/google-search-ai-mode-38609.html">https://www.seroundtable.com/google-search-ai-mode-38609.html</a> which I think Google will swap with a web tab in 2025 to make AI the default interface when going to Google. This is about the only way (forcing it onto users) for Google to gain adoption when ChatGPT leads by a wide margin in chatbot use.

Why are you using the image of Stanley Thompson, I bet you're not him at all? I think you are the same person from the other week who used an image from Linked. Either use your real face or no image at all.

How many articles do Newspapers post everyday? Does Google have an approved list of companies that can publish multiple articles a day and everyone else is spam? @disqus_GwOAGvAngL:disqus

John A. User commented on Google Offers Its Remedies In DOJ Antitrust Case

Nope, not good enough. Google needs to be broken up. Also, they've not addressed the AI Copyright question, which is a must. It was to be expected that Google would offer nothing, knowing it would be years before a final decision. Mehta is really only in first gear here when we want fifth gear. I fear the AI Copyright will not be addressed by Mehta because AI wasn't bought up in the case wasn't it?

Google is after more Google Ads money. Pushing everyone to buy ads. Ridiculous.

I hope I'm wrong but... As you remember, Pichai said they are going to change Google Search in 2025. I said that I think they will change it into like SearchGPT or Perplexity interface but with a button to view search results the traditional way. Anyway, if Pichai has said that... I believe Microsoft and Bing will one-up them. I wouldn't be surprised if they roll it out in 2025 too... Again, I swear I hope I am wrong... But with how things are going, I have very little faith.
