If what you're doing helps to put food on the table and pay the bills, it may be a good short-term measure taken while looking for the next off-ramp to take. Because the Poop Technocracy has damaged the web so badly, it will surely die by suffocating under a huge pile of Googleshit. Only option I see now is to vote against the Republicrats, to remove them from power, since they have aligned themselves with the Technocrats to expedite the destruction of small businesses.

Seems each day Google is a different level of shitty, making it very hard to gauge. Our sales are coming from other sources because Google is feeding their users China junk. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e6116b9d6644d1a6ac13f0cc47660ca30df115763b8100685f2a8496187476b0.jpg

Chrome probably freezes because it's sending data back home to Google. Best option is to not use Chrome, or any of Google's spyware products/services, because Google weaponizes that data to use against publishers and to train their AI.

Same here in the tech niche. From 250K per day same and more drop like you. Now news and discover shows websites that steal our content and classifieds from a tech forum that are not news at all. What the hell is happening?

I really don't want to, but AI basis with editing seems the way forward unfortunately. Bills have to be paid.

How does that help anyone? Post a load of stolen content that ranks on 2 search engines nobody uses? I'd rather start asking people if they want fries with that if thats the level my online activities fall to.

I still see that as pushing CoPilot rather than Classic, I keep my fingers crossed.

+1 here, only traffic I get is from China, lucky if I get one user every 30 minutes from the United States now, down from the typical 300-500 every 30 minutes before the core update.

PMB Brent commented on Google Says Don't Turn Your Content Into Bite-Sized Chunks

Barry, are you able to ask Danny for an update on the things he said (last year) Google was working on in order to help site owners who lost all their traffic from the 2023 HCU and subsequent updates? While a few may have recovered, there are still thousands of great sites that have not. I remember him saying that sites can expect an update to help with this by the end of 2025. We're now in 2026 and there's nothing. I fear that the conversation has sort of moved on from their HCU screwup and these destroyed sites are being forgotten. If there's any way you can get us an update on this, that would be great.

After ICE agents are done going after Americans in Minnesota, they can go to Cali with their fishing rods and catch bigger fish. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d287734da7f2b3b1048dfa02761e67cf55074525fce2d7a42cbfcf0f10aa3163.jpg

Helga commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility January 6th & AdSense Earnings Dropping

Sir, i agree with you on this too. Especially with the benefit of hindsight after what happened, the trigger happy officer did not need to shoot. Even if justified during that split second decision all brought on by the poor decision of the dear mother to flee instead of simply comply with exiting the vehicle.

UncleKrusty commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility January 6th & AdSense Earnings Dropping

To be clear, the shooting IMO was justified. But I also believe proper training should prohibit officers from using their bodies as shields to prevent a car from fleeing. Three kids will now grow up without their mother and at least that one 6 year old child's guardian will get SS survivorship benefits for 11 years. The math works out to an estimated $1,800 per month x 12 months ($21,600 per year) x 11 years = $237,600. That's how the rest of us who pay into SS or draw SS benefits also get stuck with the tab.

Sir, it is freezing for me too. I just thought it was my cataracts acting up and why they took away my drivers license.

Helga commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility January 6th & AdSense Earnings Dropping

I agree sir. The only true victim in all this chaos is her child. Hopefully whoever is the child's new caretaker, won't enroll them in the same Minnesota "Learing" Center that the deceased mother must have attended and failed her. Oh dear I just saw it is now closed. <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/01/08/us-news/minnesotas-infamous-quality-learing-center-is-now-closed-records-show/">https://nypost.com/2026/01/08/us-news/minnesotas-infamous-quality-learing-center-is-now-closed-records-show/</a>

No worries, if the officers training puts him and the public in harms way for a misdemeanor then that's our tax dollars at work. I know a cop who wrecked his cruiser chasing a shoplifting suspect. They eventually caught the suspect, who stole < $200 of merchandise. Taxpayers eventually replaced the cruiser for $40K. I'm sure that Minnesota woman's children may qualify for Social Security survivorship benefits, especially her 6 year old who's father died in 2023. Maybe that parent-less kid will end up in foster care and grow up to be better then she was. Maybe not, but we all will end up paying for it anyway.

Helga commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility January 6th & AdSense Earnings Dropping

Yes dear. It's a shame that woman and mother didn't think of her children before needlessly endanging the lives of others with her vehicle. Those officers should have stood down immediately and let her do whatever she wants.
