Most of the type of blogs this article talks about is exactly what I would ignore. Looks more like Google stopped playing the SEO game and is looking for authentic content. Or atleast is cutting down the noise for whatever reason.
Nope. The effect described affects all websites. I wrote about my case a month ago, and many people have reached out in private to commiserate. https://nicolasbouliane.com/blog/death-by-ai
Thanks for sharing. I think business tied with google is definitely taking a hit. I agree.
And with those kind of websites comment, I meant heavily SEO optimised website. Their content and website are for Google search engine. Not for humans.
Also, I am coming from indieweb POV which isn't about making business out of it. But I do empathise with indie businesses such as yourself. Hope things get better for you.
